Santos Laguna and FC Juarez will square off at the Estadio Nuevo Corona on Sunday as we head towards the business end of the 2023 Liga MX Apertura campaign.
The hosts come into this encounter off the back of successive defeats at the hands of Club America (4-3) and Club Leon (2-0). Currently sitting in 14th place, four points off the 10th and final playoff position in the table, Pablo Repetto's side desperately need a win here to keep their chances of advancing to the playoffs alive.
As for the visitors, FC Juarez were the runners-up at one stage, but a poor run of results has seen them fall off the cliff, and they now find themselves outside the automatic qualification places. However, the Braves' 3-2 midweek victory over Atletico St. Louis has put them firmly back in contention, currently occupying ninth spot with 18 points after 13 rounds.
