Match Preview
Cruz Azul hosts Juárez at the iconic Estadio Azteca on Saturday, seeking to maintain their strong home form. The home side has recorded three consecutive victories, showcasing a solid attacking unit that has scored consistently. In contrast, Juárez arrives with mixed results, managing just one win in their last five matches, which raises concerns about their defensive resilience. Historically, Cruz Azul has dominated this fixture, winning seven of the last ten encounters, with Juárez yet to secure an away victory against them.
One notable angle to consider is Cruz Azul's ability to exploit set pieces. With a significant height advantage in their squad, they have been effective in converting corners and free-kicks into goals. Juárez's recent struggles in defending set plays could be a critical factor, especially given the home side's current momentum. If Cruz Azul can capitalise on this aspect, they may well extend their unbeaten run against Juárez and solidify their position in the Liga MX standings.
