He has been one of the best players since he arrived at La Franja due to his solvency and saves under the three posts, which is why Paraguayan Antony Silva will have to be at his best to get a positive result from a complicated field.

Last season's goal scorer wants to repeat for this championship, which is why Argentine Nicolás Ibáñez will be one of the elements to follow not only for this match, but also throughout the Clausura 2023, where he has been a guarantee of goals since he arrived in Mexican soccer.

1 Antony Silva, 12 Israel Reyes, 21 Gastón Silva, 5 Diego de Buen, 26 Ivo Vázquez, 204 Emilio Martínez, 10 Federico Mancuello, 14 Pablo Parra, 20 Maximiliano Araujo, 22 Jordi Cortizo, 15 Guillermo Martínez.

After the departure of Nicolás Larcamón and the arrival of coach Eduardo Arce, La Franja del Puebla wants to continue qualifying for the Liguillas and end the long streak of not being able to win the title, although the outlook does not look so encouraging due to some important departures, such as that of Maxi Araujo, who left for Toluca.

The reigning champions of Mexican soccer, the Tuzos del Pachuca, are making their debut after a few months and will be looking to do so on the right foot, under a project led by Guillermo Almada, who has been very solid in his first year as coach and who has the task of not slowing down and continuing to place the team from the Bella Airosa among the best in Liga MX.

The Pachuca vs Puebla match will be played at the Hidalgo Stadium, in Pachuca, Mexico. The kick-off is scheduled at 22:10 pm ET.
