Juarez FC will head to Estadio Akron on Saturday night to face Chivas Guadalajara. Both teams had disappointing starts in Liga MX last weekend, as neither managed to secure a win in their most recent matches.
Under Fernando Gago, Juarez FC managed to salvage a point with a 1-1 draw against Tigres UANL. Chivas, having had a 20-day break after their early exit from the 2024 Leagues Cup, came into the game showing no signs of sluggishness. They controlled 50% of the possession and fired 10 shots, with six of those on target.
In contrast, Maurício Barbieri’s squad suffered a heavy 3-0 defeat to Necaxa in round six of the 2024 Apertura. Juarez FC is still without a win in the domestic league and currently holds the third-worst goal differential in Liga MX at minus six.
