Monterrey
- Monterrey are winless in their last five Liga MX games, losing three and drawing two.

Puebla
- Puebla have also stumbled, drawing three and losing two in their last five Liga MX fixtures.
- Puebla sit near the relegation zone on 12 - 13 points in the Clausura 2026 standings and a surprise win would be a lifeline.

Monterrey

Puebla
- Esteban Lozano has been a regular starter and attacking focal point.
- Emiliano Gómez and Bruno Barticciotto have had their moments as super-subs but lack consistent scoring output.
