Toluca vs Juarez Prediction and Betting Tips | July 13th 2024

The action continues in Mexican Liga MX as Toluca and Juarez lock horns at the Estadio Nemesio Díez on Saturday. Renato Paiva’s men will head into the weekend looking to get one over the visitors, having failed to win their last three meetings since a 3-0 victory in October 2022.

Toluca were denied a dream start to the new campaign as they were held to a goalless draw by Guadalajara in last Sunday’s curtain-raiser.

Paiva’s side have now failed to win their last four games, losing twice and claiming two draws — a run which saw them crash out of the Clausura playoffs in the quarter-finals back in May.

Next up for Toluca is the daunting challenge of taking on an opposing side who are unbeaten in 10 of their last 12 meetings since August 2018.

Like the hosts, Juarez were involved in a share of the spoils in last weekend’s league opener as they played out a 2-2 draw with Atlas on home turf.

Mauricio Barbieri’s men have now failed to win five consecutive Liga MX games, including four defeats in their final four Clausura games last season.

Having finished 15th in the Apertura table last season, Juarez will look to improve this term as they eye a top-half finish for the first time in their nine-year history.
