It's game two of the Liga MX season and all to play for. Read our thorough preview of Tijuana-Juárez!

This arena has artifical turf, unlike Juárez's home ground. The latest five games by the away team on artifical turf have resulted in 1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses.

Juárez have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1200 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Both teams have had enough rest since their last work day in an official game. Let's hope for an animated fixture!

Juárez form and stats

Let's have a look at how Juárez performed last season in the Liga MX: They landed a 16th position in the league table after playing out 4 victories, 4 draws and 9 defeats. In total they scored 14 and conceded 25 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 1 - drew 2 and lost 6 with 5/15 goals scored/conceded. One match played away so far in the Liga MX for Juárez and it was a tie. Last season the statistics for their away games were 2 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses from 8 games.

The attacking players of Juárez have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 270 minutes.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Guadalajara (placed 10th) in their previous outing. The match ended in a draw 0-0. Goalkeeper Talavera got the top player rating of the team with 8.2/10. Talavera topped it up with a clean sheet.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Queretaro wasn't a success with a 0-4 loss.

Juárez are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 2 draws and 8 defeats. From a total of 12 matches.

0 goals so far away for Juárez, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 0. All from 1 league match away.
