How to watch today's Tijuana vs FC Juarez Liga MX game: Live stream, TV channel, and start time

Once Pachuca and U.N.A.M. finish trading blows on Thursday night, the spotlight shifts to Estadio Caliente for another dose of Liga MX action. 

This matchup between Tijuana and FC Juarez pits two attack-minded sides who have been hitting the net with regularity, but who've also looked anything but watertight at the back in recent outings. Tijuana, fresh off back-to-back losses in which they shipped six goals, steadied the ship with a much-needed victory over Atlas. The question now is whether they can build on that momentum against a Juarez squad that loves to rack up goals on the road. 

Winning away from home has never been Juarez’s calling card, but their scoring punch does help them sneak out the occasional result, just as they did in their recent triumph at Atletico San Luis. Still, if Los Bravos want to walk out of Estadio Caliente with all three points, they'll almost certainly need to shore up a leaky back line. And truth be told, their latest performances don't exactly scream "defensive resurgence on the way."
