This season has been a rollercoaster for these participants so far, boom and bust leading to mid-table spots so far. Gear up for Puebla - Juárez!

Insights:
  • Puebla have the most dropped points from leading position (10) in Liga MX
  • Juárez have the fewest scored goals in the first half (1) in Liga MX

These teams have little in common geographically as Juárez have to travel 1900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
