Puebla and Club Leon will battle for three points in a Liga MX matchday three fixture on Tuesday. The hosts are coming off a 4-1 thrashing away to Necaxa over the weekend.
Agustin Palavecino and Kevin Rosero scored either side of Diber Cambindo's brace to put their side into a four-goal lead by the 76th minute. Rafael Duran scored a late consolation strike with three minutes left on the clock.
Club Leon, meanwhile, shared the spoils in a goalless draw at home to Pachuca. Their visitors were reduced to 10 men in the 28th minute following Oussame Idrissi's 28th-minute red card. But Los Panzas Verdes did not make their numerical advantage count before being reduced to 10 men deep into injury time.
The loss left them in 17th spot in the table, having garnered one point from two games. Puebla are ninth with three points from two games.

Puebla vs Leon Prediction
Puebla ended bottom of the Clausura table and did not win any of their last 12 league games last term. They lost their last seven games on the bounce but fans of the club will be hoping their opening-day victory in the Apertura was not a false dawn.
Leon, for their part, started the campaign with a thrashing by UNAM and will aim to register their first win of the campaign on the third try.
Although one side could nick a win, we are backing the spoils to be shared in a high-scoring stalemate.
