    FC Juarez vs Pachuca Prediction

    With Liguilla places still up for grabs across Liga MX, FC Juarez’s recent form has been grim, including a 6-1 defeat at Monterrey and a 1-5 loss at home to Pumas UNAM, and there’s little in that run to suggest they can contain Pachuca’s frontline. Rondon has scored 6 goals already this season and looks the difference-maker here, while Estupinan’s 2 for FC Juarez should be enough to get the home side on the scoresheet without saving them. Expect Pachuca to edge a game with goals at both ends: FC Juarez 1-2 Pachuca.
