Club Tijuana host Club Puebla at Estadio Caliente on Friday, October 16 (11:00 PM ET / 10:00 PM CT / 8:00 PM PT).
Club Tijuana and Club Puebla both arrive with clean team sheets — no absences are flagged for either side — so the lineup picture rests on the players already carrying each attack. Gilberto Mora leads the home side with 5 goals and 9 shots on target in 499 minutes, with striker Mourad El Ghezouani adding 4 goals from 17 shots up top. Puebla will lean on striker Eduardo Mustre, who has 3 goals and 5 chances created in 389 minutes, alongside attacking midfielder Mathias Tomas Borges, whose 8 chances created and 22 shots underline his influence in midfield.
Expect a tight, low-event night at Estadio Caliente. Neither side has been scoring freely this season, and this looks like the kind of game that turns on a single moment rather than a flood of chances. Home advantage and Tijuana’s slightly healthier underlying numbers should be enough to nose a cagey contest, but goals are likely to stay in short supply at both ends.

Club Tijuana vs Club Puebla Prediction
This has the look of a tense, low-scoring affair, and we’re backing Club Tijuana to edge it 1-0 at Estadio Caliente. With both sides level on points but Tijuana’s +1 goal difference a shade healthier than Puebla’s -1, the home side’s extra cutting edge in Gilberto Mora should be the difference in a game where clean sheets look more likely than goals.
