The Juarez & Leon managers G. Caballero Schiker and M. Ambriz Espinoza are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Liga MX league table.
Juárez have less rest than León in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Copa MX game only four days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Monterrey, was also a home game here at Estadio Olímpico Benito Juárez. The away team is better rested.
These teams have little in common geographically as León have to travel 1400 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

The Juárez supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Monterrey in Copa MX and win 2-0. In the preceding match a 3-0 victory visiting Atlético San Luis.
Juárez made it very difficult for themselves, when F. Santos got a red card in the 79th minute. The match was still a draw at this point. But even with this card, Juárez won the match 2-0!
The manager G. Caballero Schiker will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Monterrey in only three days.
