Betting on Cruz Azul
Cruz Azul has been able to get back on track. The machine achieved a great win against Puebla on the road and looked much better than they did under the guidance of Raúl Gutiérrez. The team is going from strength to strength and still has a chance to qualify for the playoffs.
Liga MX offers opportunities to more than half of its participants, since 12 will qualify for the playoffs. For this reason, if the Cementeros get a good run of positive results, they might qualify for the next round. With Joaquín Moreno at the helm, the team looked better, but the interim came to an end.
Ricardo Ferretti will be the new coach of Cruz Azul, needless to say the coach’s track record is one of the best in the history of Mexican soccer. Thus, it will be interesting to see him work in one of the least patient teams in the world. He will have his presentation this Wednesday and may already be on the bench for the game against the Bravos (his former team).
Possible Lineup (3-4-3): Jesús Corona; Julio César Domínguez, Juan Escobar, Ramiro Funes Mori; José Rivero, Erik Lira, Rafael Baca, Carlos Rotondi; Uriel Antuna, Gonzalo Carneiro, Carlos Rodríguez.
Betting on Juarez
The visiting team registers 4 consecutive matches without losing, with the last two being draws against quite difficult teams. The most surprising was at the Volcán against Tigres, when they played a pool game and were held to a draw.
Then they hosted the Lion and played very well. They were with an extra player for a good part of the game and could not make their numerical superiority or their locale count. Their lack of offensive generation was a little worrying, as they did not score a single shot on goal, even with an extra man.
Hernán Cristante’s team is not doing badly, and at the moment is well positioned in the standings, they are confident and have not lost away in two games.
Possible lineup (4-4-2): Alfredo Talavera; Francisco Narváez, Ventura Alvarado, Carlos Salcedo, Maxi Olivera; Luis Rodríguez, Jesús Dueñas, Denzell Garcia, Jordan Sierra; Tomás Molina, Gabriel Fernández.
JefeBet Prediction
Tuca knows the Bravos perfectly well, because the Brazilian basically put them together, and knowledge about them could be key to defeating them. Although Ferretti is good, he is still new at the helm of the team, but Joaquín Moreno is on the bench and the continuity of the good streak they are on can help.
On the other hand, Juarez has been a good visitor lately, so we think they will draw. The Tuca era will get off to a good start.
Prediction: Cruz Azul 1-1 Juárez.
