Juarez team news and form: Juarez will do their best
Similar to their opening match versus Atlas (2-2), Juarez will try to put a spoke in Pumas UNAM’s wheel as well. However, seeing as Diego Valoyes is injured and will miss this match, we highly doubt the team will have the attacking strength to outscore the visitors.
Predicted lineup: Calvo (GK), Edson, Mosquera, Ortega, Orquin, del Campo, Villalpando, Castro, Vergara, Torres & Zaldivar

Player to watch: Rogelio Funes Mori
A prolific Liga MX striker such as Mori among the starters for the visitors? There’s no way our Juarez vs Pumas UNAM predictions will fail here. Mori is a man who needs no introduction, as he’s been crushing it in Mexico throughout the last couple of seasons. We believe he will be among the key men to watch this week as well.
Second player to watch: Francisco Calvo
Juarez’s team captain and main shot-stopper will be the key player for the home team this week. He will have the difficult task of keeping a clean sheet against a team that scored four in one game just a few days ago.
