Club América return to the pitch for the first time in more than two weeks when the club hosts Puebla in a Liga MX match on Saturday at Azteca Stadium in Mexico City. Because the team's last scheduled match, against Querétaro on July 9, was postponed because of poor field conditions, América have not played since the season opener, a 2-1 defeat to FC Juarez on June 30. Meanwhile Puebla are also looking for their first win of the season. The club drew with Tigres, 1-1, in the season opener before losing to Santos, 3-2, last week.

Why you should back Puebla
Puebla face an América club that will be missing three key players on Saturday. Forward Henry Martin, defender Israel Reyes and keeper Luis Malagon are participating with the national team in the Concacaf Gold Cup and unavailable to América. The loss of Martin is particularly tough as he scored a career-high 27 goals in 42 league matches last season.
In addition, Brayan Angulo has gotten off to a hot start this season. The 33-year-old left back from Colombia has scored in each of the team's first two games. His two goals already are tied for the most goals he's had in any single season in his career. See which team to pick here.
