  • Juárez have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Liga MX. That game was an away game at Leon, so at least Necaxa are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

These teams have little in common geographically as Juárez have to travel 1300 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
