Juárez form and stats

3-2-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Liga MX numbers at home for Juárez so far this season. With seven home Liga MX games in a row without a win, the Juárez fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Necaxa game long ago, can be stopped today.

It's back home for Juárez, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Toluca away with the result 1-0. Fernández found the net in that victory. Some amazing scenes last match, when Fernández scored the winning goal five minutes into stoppage time. Fernández, who plays in attack, was the best player for the team in that game, and was presented with a rating of 7.55 (out of 10). Fernández scored one goal, hit the woodwork once and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

Preceding that match was the home game against Pachuca that was lost 1-2.

This is expected to be a close game, with Juárez perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Juárez as a small favourite), we find 17 games. Juárez has won six of these, drawn four and lost seven.

The Juárez fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 8 matches. 10 goals have been conceded. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.
