The winners of the last season’s Liga MX, UANL Tigres start their 2023-24 campaign against a team they’ve defeated twice already in 2023. The team in question is Puebla, which is coming to Estadio Universitario in San Nicolás de los Garza this Saturday to try and upset the odds. Can “Los Camoteros” pull it off?
Before Betting on UANL Tigres vs. Puebla
All of UANL Tigres’ players who featured in the 2023 Campeon de Campeones Game (Liga MX Championship Game) against Pachuca, which they won 2-1, are still on the roster. Actually, Tigres’ squad for the 2023 Apertura is pretty much the same as their squad from the previous season. This suggests that they’ll probably just keep up where they left off.
Last season, they defeated Puebla twice. The first time, it was in the regular season, and the score was 1-0. Their second duel also saw Tigres win 1-0, but this time in the Playoffs. Each time, despite being the dominant side but struggled to outsmart Puebla’s defense.
That was kind of surprising, considering that Puebla wasn’t great defensively last season. In fact, with 32 goals conceded in the 17 games of the regular season, “The Sweet Potatoers” were shared second on the list of worst defenses in the Mexican Liga MX.

Only one of UANL Tigres’ players (Diego Lainez) got a call-up from the Mexico national team to take part in the Gold Cup. This means that the reigning champs will have almost all of their key men available in the 2023-24 season opener. This means that they should be able to beat Puebla once again. And this time, they should win by more than one goal.
Pick: UANL Tigres to win & over 2.5 goals
