FC Juárez
LLLWLL
FC Juárez will be hoping to return to winning ways here following a 1-0 Liga MX (Apertura) loss in their previous game against CD Guadalajara.
In that game, FC Juárez had 22% possession and 6 attempts at goal with 0 of them on target. At the other end, Guadalajara got 21 attempts at goal with 7 on target. Roberto Alvarado (90') was the scorer for CD Guadalajara.
It’s been all too rare in recent games that FC Juárez have kept a clean sheet. It will be a concern for them that FC Juárez have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 clashes, letting in 12 goals during that time. That trend isn’t assured to be sustained into this match, however.
Universidad Nacional
LWDLLW
Universidad Nacional will go into this encounter following on from a 1-2 Liga MX (Apertura) win as they beat Toluca in their most recent fixture.
