FC Juarezwill welcome reigning champions Club Americato the Estadio Olimpico Benito Juarez on Thursday night in matchday three of the 2024 Liga MX Clausura campaign.
Las Aguilas were by some distance the best team in Mexico in the Apertura 2023, winning both the regular season and playoff phase dominantly.
The visitors have kick-started their title defence campaign with a couple of routine 2-0 victories over Tijuana and Queretaro, and are once again looking like the team to beat in Liga MX, which is ominous news for Wednesday's hosts FC Juarez, who are yet to record their first win as they have lost one and drawn one of their opening two games of the Clausura 2024 season.

Team news & squads
FC Juarez team news
It came as a big surprise when Arturo Ortiz decided to leave Pumas UNAM to join FC Juarez in what was deemed a big coup for the latter during the winter window. He made an excellent debut against his former club but gave away a last-gasp winning chance to Cruz Azul by conceding a penalty.
Thankfully for the 31-year-old defender, goalkeeper Sebastien Jurado was on hand to save his blushes and keep the clean sheet intact.
Last season, striker Aviles Hurtado was Juarez's top scorer with six goals and three assists in 15 appearances. The 36-year-old has fared well in the opening two games, but he has yet to open his account for the season, lacking the required service from the supply chain.
FC Juarez predicted lineup: S. Jurado; A. Vukcevic, P. Ortiz, J. García, J. Abella; D. García, J. Venegas; A. Hurtado, A. García, D. Chávez; A. Escoto
| Position | Players |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers: | Jurado, Talavera, Higuera, Diaz, Pasquel |
| Defenders: | Ortega, Mosquera, Vukčević, Ortiz, Abella, Campillo, Garcia, Nevarez |
| Midfielders: | Valoyes, Hurtado, Urzi, Pérez Bouquet, Castro, Villalpando, Saucedo, Muñoz, Zapata, Garcia, Orquin, Salas, Venegas |
