Juarez FC will look to make it two wins from two in the Mexican Liga MX campaign when they take on Tigres UANL at the Estadio Olímpico Benito Juarez on Saturday (July 8).
Robert Siboldi’s men were denied a dream start to the new campaign last time out and will head into the weekend in search of their first win of the season. Juarez picked up a dream start to the new Liga MX campaign with a 2-1 win over Club America in their league opener on Saturday.
Diego Mejia’s side had endured a horrid end to their 2022-23 campaign, failing to win their final 11 games, losing five. Juarez will look to pick up successive wins for the first time since February, when they edged out Maxatlan FC and Santos Laguna respectively.
Meanwhile, Tigres needed a 93rd-minute strike from Nicolas Ibanez to salvage a 1-1 draw with Puebla in their league opener on Sunday. Before that, Los Tigres clinched the Campeón de Campeones title courtesy of a deserved 2-1 win over Pachuca at the Dignity Health Sports Park on June 25.
Tigres head into the weekend unbeaten in six games across competitions, winning thrice since mid-May.
Despite their opening-day disappointment, Tigres UANL head into the weekend as the more in-form side and will look to get their season up and running. Los Tigres have enjoyed the better of the fixture and should have another win.
Prediction: Juarez 1-3 Tigres
Tip 1: Result - Tigres
Tip 2: First to score - Tigres (The visitors have opened the scoring in five of the last six games in the fixture.)
Tip 3: Less than 10.5 corners - Yes (There have been fewer than 11 corners in their last eight clashes.)
