On Saturday May 14th, América will host Puebla at Estadio Azteca in a Liga MX match. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 25 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. 4th placed América is fresh off their 0-0 scoreless draw against Cruz Azul. Neither América nor Cruz Azul could manage to put one past the goalie. They had 15 and 7 shots on net respectively, but no one could score, and the match ended in a 0 – 0 draw,. With 21 points in their last 10 matches América should be reasonably happy with their performance, while in their last match, 5th placed Puebla, recorded a 2-2 draw against Mazatlán. Diego De Buen struck first for Puebla in the 4th minute, then Juan Pablo Segovia added another in the 14th minute . They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 9 points in their last 10 matches.
On the 8th of January, Puebla hosted América in their last match together. Puebla and América battled to a 1-1 draw. Salvador Reyes scored the first goal for América in the 2nd minute, but Araujo Vilches got the equalizer for Puebla in the 45th minute earning them at least the one point.
Puebla is having problems scoring lately. Their top scorers, Fernando Aristeguieta and Pablo Parra each only have 1 goal in their last five. Alex Zendejas has been the most effective weapon for América lately. The midfielder has netted three goals in his last five matches.
