Juarez vs Club America prediction: Comfortable win for Club America
Key stats
- Juarez are winless in five straight games dating back to early April (D3, L2).
- Los Bravos have lost three successive H2Hs against the visitors.
- Club America have won two of their previous five games (D1, L2).
- The Eagles haven’t won away from home in seven consecutive trips (D1, L6).
Correct score prediction: Juarez 0-3 Club America
Juarez closed their 2024/25 campaign poorly – a Liga MX Clausura playoff loss to UNAM Pumas extended their winless streak to five games, with their last victory dating back to March against Puebla. Now, coach Martin Varini faces a brutal season opener against previous season’s runners-up Club America. The Mexican heavyweights arrive hungry to reclaim the Liga MX crown after Toluca pipped them to last season’s title by three points. With America’s superior fitness and title ambitions, they should dispatch Juarez with minimal fuss at Estadio Olimpico Benito Juarez.

Player to Watch: Brian Rodriguez
Rodriguez netted Club America’s only goal in the FIFA Club World Cup playoffs, keeping his side alive before Los Angeles FC beat hem in extra-time. The Uruguay forward missed the majority of last season due to a groin injury and fitness issues, but he will be hoping to get off on the right foot as the Eagles aim to reclaim the league championship.
