Juarez will face Club America at the Estadio Olimpico Benito Juarez on Thursday in another round of the 2024 Liga MX Clausura campaign.
The home side have endured a slow start to their league campaign, suffering a 1-0 defeat to Pumas UNAM on the opening day. They then played out a goalless draw against Cruz Azul last time out and had heroics from goalkeeper Sebastian Jurado to thank for picking up the sole point as the Mexican denied his parent club a late winner from the spot.
Juarez sit 12th in the league table with one point picked up so far and will be looking to pick up their first win of the season on Thursday.

Club America, meanwhile, beat Tijuana 2-0 in their league opener with Salvador Reyes scoring a late brace to clinch maximum points for his side. They then picked up a comfortable 2-0 win over Queretaro in their last match with Paraguay international Richard Sanchez and Julian Quinones getting on the scoresheet in the second half.
The visitors sit atop the Liga MX standings with six points from an obtainable six and will be looking to add to that tally this week.

America, on the other hand, have won their last four games on the bounce and have lost just once since last August. They are in much better form than their opponents ahead of Thursday's clash and should come out on top here.
