The last official match was played on in the Leagues Cup (home side - San Diego Zest, away side - Tijuana). The match ended 1:0.

The match stats were as follows (San Diego Zest vs Tijuana):

San Diego Zest have alternated between wins and losses in their last five matches, winning twice and losing three times. The team shows a certain consistency in attack: over the last ten matches their average scoring rate is 1.7 goals, while the defence concedes 1.5 per game. Against this backdrop, one trend is worth noting - the club has not scored more than 2.5 goals in five consecutive Leagues Cup matches, which points to a limited ceiling on their attacking potential even against opponents with weak defensive lines. This season San Diego Zest have been avoiding prolonged losing runs and typically use home advantage to pick up points.

The current away side's last official match was played in the Leagues Cup (home side - Austin, away side - Puebla). The match ended 3-0.

Match statistics (Puebla vs Austin):

• possession: 47% vs 53%;
• corners: 8 vs 7;
• fouls: 15 vs 10;
• yellow cards: 4 vs 1;
• shots on target: 1 vs 5.

Puebla come into this match with one of the toughest runs of any side in the competition: just one win from their last ten games, with seven defeats and two draws. There is a clear lack of efficiency in attack - the visitors average just 0.8 goals per match, while the defence regularly breaks down, conceding an average of 2.2 goals per game over this stretch. The difficulties away from home are particularly notable: the team have lost seven of their last eight away matches and show almost no confidence on the road. Even against opponents without a particularly potent attack, Puebla often find themselves under pressure and are unable to compete consistently.
