Juarez Preview
Juárez was on the verge of getting its first win at Ciudad Universitaria against Pumas, but the team missed the opportunity, allowing the contender to turn it around in the second half. The team from the Mexican border opened the scoring in the 30th minute with a goal by Alan Medina, but 10 minutes later Gabriel Fernández was sent off and the team was forced to play with one less player for the second half.
Although the team coached by Hernán Cristante showed order, it was unable to achieve the feat as goals were conceded in the 77th and 87th minutes, which ended up sealing its defeat. With this result, Bravos is one of the five teams that lost in their debut and arrives in position #15 for this game.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1):Alfredo Talavera; Maxi Olivera, Carlos Salcedo, Alejandro Arribas, Luis Rodríguez; Javier Salas, Jesús Dueñas; Alan Medina, Denzell García, Darwin Machís; José Reyes.
Tijuana Preview
The Xolos de Tijuana, meanwhile, earned a 1-1 draw against Cruz Azul in their first game of the campaign. In the first half, the team was solid and managed to take the lead before the break, thanks to a penalty taken by the Argentine Lisandro López.
In the final stretch of the game, their rival woke up and ended up equalizing the score to split the points. Although getting a point on the first matchday is not a bad thing, it is perhaps not the best either for a team that made its debut at home and will now try to get three points away from home.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Antonio Rodríguez; Nicolás Díaz, Lisandro López, Víctor Guzmán, Rodrigo Godinez; Federico Lertora, José Vázquez; Lucas Rodríguez, Carlos Valenzuela, Alexis Canelo; Braian Romero.
JefeBet Prediction
This duel has special appeal, as Juárez has not lost any of its four home matches against Tijuana in all competitions and is looking to extend that positive streak, which involves one win and three draws. After what both teams presented in the first matchday, we could expect them to draw in a disputed match.
Prediction: Draw by a score of 1-1.
