Chivas vs FC Juarez Prediction & Picks - Liga MX

Prediction published on 8/29/24, 7:05 PM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 8/29/24 at 11:29 PM in Liga MX Picks

Chivas will be the favorite to beat Juarez with odds of up to -140 on betting sites. Juarez is second to last and is also the second worst defense in Liga MX having allowed 1g goals in 5 games. In the last Clausaura tournament Chivas finished 6th in the general table only allowing 17 goals against, qualifying for the Playoffs where they would fall in the semifinals against their rival America by a 0-1 aggregate, and these would be the eventual champions. Juarez finished 12th, with 16 points and too far from the 10th which is the last position that gives you the pass to the next round, which had 24.

Juarez, however, was solid in the previous tournament and only allowed 26 goals against, but the poor offensive production condemned them, for this new tournament the opposite occurs since they are the second most scored team but have a decent 6 goals in 5 games.

Juarez had a good start in the group stage of the League Cup where they won their group, but were eliminated in the first knockout phase against the Colorado Rapids. On their return to Mexico they did very poorly and Necaxa beat them 0-3 despite Juarez's overwhelming 71% possession.
