Necaxa and Juarez are set to clash under the Friday night lights at Estadio Victoria in a Liga MX showdown.
The hosts find themselves struggling near the bottom, sitting 15th in the standings after a rocky start that's produced just one win, two draws, and four defeats. Their most recent league outing saw them lose 3-0 with Tijuana on September 1, a result that did little to ease the pressure.
Juarez, meanwhile, arrive in slightly stronger form, holding down 8th place with three victories, a pair of draws, and two setbacks. On the road, they’ve been steady if unspectacular, mirroring Necaxa’s home return with one win, one draw, and one loss. They are currently riding a three-game winning streak, comprising narrow wins Chivas, Santos Laguna, and Mazatlan FC.

Necaxa team news
Necaxa head into the contest with fitness concerns of their own, as Cristian Calderón remains sidelined with a lingering groin issue and Johan Rojas continues to recover from a thigh problem sustained earlier this year.
FC Juarez team news
On the other side, Juarez have a nearly full-strength squad to choose from, though doubts still hover over Jesús Murillo and Jonathan González, who are battling knocks. Aside from those concerns, the visitors look well-stocked.
