Insights:
  • Tijuana have the most conceded goals (27) in Liga MX
  • Juárez is in the worst form (0-2-4)

1-1-2 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Juárez when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those four matches are 5-7 (scored/conceded).

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.

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!
