FC Juarez vs CF Pachuca Prediction & Picks - Liga MX

Prediction published on 10/18/25, 3:12 PM  by Edgar Jibran | Modified on 10/18/25 at 9:10 PM in Liga MX Picks

One of the most interesting games on next Saturday’s Liga MX schedule features the clash between FC Juarez and CF Pachuca, teams that, despite not being very popular, are fiercely competing for play-in spots. With that in mind, neither of them can afford to lose this game, as that would also mean losing the good advantage they currently have over teams like Pumas UNAM, Atlas, and Leon.

Additionally, FC Juarez must avoid losing two games in a row, it being worth noting that they lost against Atlas (3-1) just before the international break. That result ended a two-game winning streak that Juarez earned against Pumas UNAM and Leon, so playing in Ciudad Juarez is expected to provide extra motivation to their offensive line, where players like Estupiñan and Pizarro have been improving their collective performance throughout the season.

Meanwhile, Pachuca is very far from the level they had at the beginning of the season, so even though they have won their last two consecutive games, they cannot be considered as real contenders to battle for the championship. Additionally, it must be noted that Pachuca has only been able to keep a clean sheet in two of their last ten games, numbers that confirm their lack of defensive consistency.
