Juarez vs Atlas Prediction and Betting Tips | July 6th 2024

Juarez kick off the new Mexican Liga MX campaign when they play host to Atlas on Saturday. Benat San Jose’s men are unbeaten in their last four visits to the Estadio Olímpico Benito Juárez and will look to extend this impressive run.

Despite their strong end to the season, Juarez failed to secure their spot in the playoffs back in April as they finished 12th in the Clausura standings.

Mauricio Barbieri’s side picked up four wins and one draw in their final six games, having failed to win any of their previous 11 matches to start the Clausura campaign.

This followed a disappointing first half of the season, when they finished 15th in the Apertura table with just 18 points from 17 matches.

Like the hosts, Atlas will kick off the new term looking to improve on last season’s performance as they failed to reach the playoffs in both the Apertura and Clausura.

Having finished 17th in the Apertura table, just two points above last-placed Club Necaxa, San Jose’s men picked up just three wins in the second half of the season to also finish bottom but one in the Clausura with 14 points from 17 games.

Atlas will now start the new campaign against a spirited Juarez side, who went unbeaten in their two warm-up friendlies, beating New Mexico United 4-2 on June 20, four days before holding out for a 1-1 draw against Mexican champions Club America.
