Puebla will host Chivas de Guadalajara in a repechage match to define which of these two squads will qualify for the great celebration of Mexican soccer. Nicolás Larcamón’s team is slightly favorite to win at home, although the Sacred Rebaño could surprise. Marcelo Michel Leaño’s squad will seek to leave behind the bad results in the regular tournament and get into the league.
The camoteros closed the campaign with a victory over the Red Devils of Toluca, while the rojiblancos defeated Mazatlán FC by the slightest difference to qualify for the play-off.

Marcelo Michel Leaño was ratified by Ricardo Peláez as the technical director of Chivas de Guadalajara for the following season. Some players on the squad have been explicit in their approval of this determination by the board. One of them was Captain Jesús Molina, who considered that this would be the beginning of the rebirth of the Sacred Flock.
One of the doubts for this duel was the possible absence of Alexis Vega. The destabilizing forward said in an interview with Marca Claro that he is ready to play the playoff game against Puebla. Vega indicated that he is training normally and without any physical discomfort.
In the event that there is a tie in the playoff match between Puebla and Chivas, the winner will be defined by penalties, according to the Liga MX regulations.
Puebla Lineup (3-4-3) | Antony Silva, Emanuel Gularte, Israel Reyes, Juan Segovia, George Corral, Gustavo Ferrareis, Javier Salas, Maximiliano Araujo, Cristian Tabó, Guillermo Martínez and Pablo Parra.
Chivas Lineup (4-3-3) | Raúl Gudiño, Isaac Brizuela, Hiram Mier, Gilberto Sepúlveda, Miguel Ponce, Jesús Molina, Alan Torres, Fernando Beltrán, Uriel Antuna, Alexis Vega and Jesús Ricardo Angulo.
Chivas de Guadalajara urgently needs this victory in order to start building its project on solid foundations. Puebla can take advantage of the intensity of the flock and define the match on the backlash. The duel seems very even, but the sweet potatoes are slightly favorites to enter the league.
Puebla 1- 0 Chivas.
