by Edgar Jibran in Liga MX Picks
Cruz Azul is the only remaining undefeated team in Liga MX after the first eight matchdays of the Apertura 2025 season, so next Friday night they’re considered the absolute favorites to defeat FC Juarez. That game will take place at the Universitario Stadium in Mexico City at 07:00 pm CST, and it’ll be the first to be played in matchday 9, bringing both teams the opportunity to stay competitive in the league.
On the one hand, Cruz Azul is one of only two teams that have won their last five games along with Monterrey, so it isn’t surprising to find out that Cruz Azul is only one point behind the top spot of the standings. Additionally, it’s worth noting that three of those five were away victories, so coming back home after defeating Guadalajara and Pachuca will likely result in almost a sellout due to their fans’ enthusiasm.
Meanwhile, FC Juarez remains one of the most modest teams in Liga MX, and even though their owners have invested heavily to form a competitive squad, the reality is that they’re very far from being able to dream of a direct qualification for the playoffs at the end of the season. Despite that, it cannot be ignored that they currently have a four-game undefeated streak, including a very notable victory over Guadalajara (1-2) some matchdays ago.

Our CF Cruz Azul vs FC Juarez Prediction
To conclude, even though the general expectations for this game are for total domination by Cruz Azul from kickoff, the reality is that they haven’t been able to find their best offensive form yet, so this game could be more tough than expected.
With all this context in mind, it’s also relevant to note that Angel Sepulveda could be finally returned for Cruz Azul after the injury he suffered against Guadalajara, so the home team is expected to have additional momentum with his possible return. Therefore, the pick for Cruz Azul – FC Juarez is: Both Teams To Score – No!
