The first stoppage on the Liga MX schedule has finally come to an end, and next Friday the fourth matchday of the regular season will offer very attractive games. One of them corresponds to the clash between FC Juarez and Cruz Azul, a game that will bring the reencounter of FC Juarez’s head coach, Pedro Caixinha, with his former team.
However, even though Cruz Azul is the favorite team according to the bookies’ odds, they aren’t expected to dominate this game as players like Erik Lira, Carlos Rodriguez, and Jorge Sanchez were part of the Mexican roster that played in Panama and Bolivia. Additionally, they left an extremely disappointing image during their last Liga MX game, as they only scored one goal against Puebla despite having one more player for 80 minutes.
Meanwhile, FC Juarez haven’t been able to find a relevant competitive level, as they conceded at least one goal in the first three matchdays of the regular season. Despite that bad streak, it should be noted that a better offensive performance is expected to bring them some victories during the regular season, especially when facing irregular teams like Cruz Azul at home.
