A struggling FC Juarez side crosses swords with a high-flying Necaxa in a crucial Liga MX encounter for both sides.
FC Juarez have had a shambolic start to the Clausura phase as they have just one point to show from their opening four games. A defeat here could dampen their hopes of revival and push them to the foot of the Mexican table.
Necaxa, on the other hand, opened the second phase with successive wins following them up with two stalemates on the trot. With eight points thus far, the visitors are fifth in the table and could bridge the gap between the sides above them who are all tied at 10 points.
