The Juarez manager G. Caballero Schiker attacks this game with the team placed 17th so far. In the visitors dressing room Morelia and their manager P. Guede Barriero are in 14th place before this match.

Morelia could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Copa MX game only four sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Cafetaleros de Tapachula. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1600 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

Juárez form and stats

The story so far in the Liga MX for Juárez at their home stadium (Estadio Olímpico Benito Juárez) is 0 wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats.

The fans are hoping that Juárez will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 2-3 away loss in the Copa MX game against Queretaro (placed 2nd). Before that, Juárez drew at home versus Pumas UNAM.

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 seven games. Juárez has won 1 of these, drawn 2 and lost 4.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Juárez as they have a new game in only three days, a Copa MX match thankfully also at home. Queretaro are visiting.

Early season league goal statistics from Juárez's 1 home game: 4 goals, 4 conceded.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Morelia playing away and similar expectations, we found four relevant matches. Results were 1 Morelia win, 1 draw and 2 defeats.
