Juárez form and stats

Juárez have played three Liga MX home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Juárez has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager R. Ferretti and the players.

Juárez haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 239 minutes ago. M. Galvan scored that one.

Juárez are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus Santos Laguna. The goalie Hugo Gonzalez was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 7.12 out of ten. Gonzalez stopped the opponent with five saves.

A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Necaxa.

The Juárez fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 3 in 3 matches. Juárez have conceded 6 goals in these home games, a significant number.
