Juarez team news and form: Juarez’s manager wants more
The home side’s coach was pleased after last week’s match versus Mazatlan. The clash at Estadio Mazatlan ended in a 1-1 tie, but the three points could’ve easily gone in Martin Varini’s pocket, as his team produced four times as many shots on target.

Player to watch: Georgios Giakoumakis
Since the start of the season, the Greek finisher has managed to score a total of six goals. He will surely be among the starters and we believe he will do well against lackluster Juarez. This is a huge plus to our top Juarez vs Cruz Azul predictions, as the visitors’ attack often looked toothless without Giakoumakis to lead the charge.
Second player to watch: Jairo Torres
Torres scored two goals for the home side during the Apertura and earned his place among the starters. We hope to see more of him on the 19th of January, as Juarez’s manager will definitely need all the help he can get.
