Juarez and Cruz Azul are set to clash at the Estadio Olimpico Benito Juarez in Liga MX this Friday, both eyeing a rebound from their opening-day setbacks in the Liga MX Clausura.
The Braves faced a 1-0 defeat against Pumas UNAM last weekend, with Eduardo Salvio netting the sole goal in the 69th minute. Nathanael Ananias da Silva received a red card for the hosts 12 minutes later, but Juarez couldn't capitalize on the numerical advantage with little time left.
This marked their fifth consecutive loss in the league, following four defeats in a row during the Apertura. The previous season concluded with Juarez finishing in the 15th position, securing just five wins and 18 points from 17 games.
Cruz Azul had a similar fate on the first matchday of the Clausura, succumbing to a defeat. They held off Pachuca for most of the game before yielding to a goal by former West Brom star Salomon Randon in the 78th minute. Despite having only 40% possession, Pachuca dominated with three times as many shots on target (6) compared to Cruz Azul (2).
After the initial round of games, Cruz Azul currently sits in the 14th position on the league table, while Juarez closely trails in 15th.
As the teams gear up for this crucial encounter, both will be eager to secure a victory and kick-start their Clausura campaign on a positive note.
