Tijuana heads into the final match of the Apertura with everything on the line. Currently sitting in 8th place, just two points behind Monterrey, they need a win to overtake Monterrey and secure a spot in the next stage of the Apertura Playoffs.

Their fate isn't entirely in their hands, as they also depend on the outcome of Monterrey’s match against León. However, a victory tonight is essential for Tijuana to keep their playoff hopes alive.

At home, Tijuana has shown solid form this season, boasting 5 wins, 2 draws, and only 1 loss, with a goal difference of 16:12 across 8 matches. Tonight, they’ll host Puebla, a team with little left to play for, sitting in 15th place with no chance of making the playoffs.

Puebla’s away performance has been underwhelming, managing only 1 win, 1 draw, and 5 losses, with a dismal goal difference of 3:14 in 7 away games. All signs suggest Tijuana has a prime opportunity to secure the crucial three points they need.
