The Angelopolis team is motivated after the positive result it achieved on the field of the Cuauhtémoc Stadium. Puebla remains firm as the “black horse” of the competition, however, they must also be cautious in the Bajío, because a tie in the global scoreboard would leave out the Big party to the team of The fringe.
However, the emerald squad does not show up with the best credentials at home, because throughout the tournament, Lion played eight times on the court of Nou Camp, won three times, tied three and lost two games.
