Soccer fans are gearing up for exhilarating matchups as Liga MX's Jornada 9 of the Clausura 2025 brings excitement and anticipation. With three key matches scheduled for February 26, the tension is rising, especially after the results of the prior fixtures showcasing unexpected outcomes and fierce competition. The league, with its dynamic standings, sees Pachuca taking on Puebla tonight at Estadio Hidalgo, starting at 19:00 hours (CDMX).
Highlights from the previous matches include the thrilling encounter where Tijuana outperformed Pumas UNAM with a score of 4-2, which left Pumas reeling, and Tigres UANL's stumble against FC Juárez, who managed to secure all three points with a narrow 1-0 victory.
Tonight's action will kick off with Pachuca, currently sitting eighth in the league with 13 points, facing Puebla, who linger lower down the table with just 8 points. Pachuca, managed by Guillermo Almada, has struggled recently, winning only one of their last five matches (E1, P3). Despite this lack of momentum, they come off a 2-1 victory against Pumas, displaying resilience on their home turf.
Puebla, on the other hand, arrives fresh off a convincing 2-0 win against Tijuana, aiming to build on this momentum. Despite being five points adrift from playoff positions, their fighting spirit could surprise Pachuca. Betting odds favor the hosts slightly, indicating their need to capitalize at home.
Fans can tune in via Tubi to catch the Pachuca vs Puebla match, or switch to ViX Premium for Toluca vs Querétaro at 21:00, and finally, Atlético San Luis hosts Chivas at 21:05 on ESPN and Disney+.
The table reached intriguing configurations as León holds the top spot with 23 points, closely followed by America with 20 and Necaxa with 18. Recent games have seen teams vying for playoff spots, but those like Atlético San Luis are under pressure, holding only three points with six consecutive losses. Their performance tonight will be under scrutiny as they seek redemption against Chivas, who aim for consistency after their recent win over Pachuca.
The anticipation for this evening’s tightly fought matches is palpable. Here’s the full schedule for the final matchday of Jornada 9:
- Pachuca vs. Puebla: 19:00 (Tubi, Estadio Hidalgo)
