Cruz Azul vs Juarez FC Prediction and Betting Tips | November 2nd 2023

The Mexican Liga MX returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Cruz Azul and Juarez FC clash at the Estadio Azteca on Thursday.

Diego Mejia’s men are without a win in their last six away matches across all competitions and will be looking to end this dry spell.

Cruz Azul returned to winning ways last Sunday when they scrapped a 1-0 victory over Club Leon courtesy of a 16th-minute strike from Ángel Sepúlveda.

Prior to that, Joaquin Moreno’s men were on a two-game losing streak, suffering back-to-back defeats against Pumas UNAM and Tigres UANL respectively.

With 14 points from 14 matches, Cruz Azul are currently 16th in the Liga MX table, just three points and two places above rock-bottom Club Necaxa.

Elsewhere, Juarez FC were sent crashing back to earth last time out when they suffered a 5-1 hammering at the hands of Santos Laguna.

This followed a 3-2 home victory over Atletico San Luis on October 26 which saw their four-game losing streak come to an end.

With 18 points from 14 matches, Juarez are currently 10th in the league table but could move level with fifth-placed Toluca with all three points on Thursday.
