FC Juarez vs Tigres UANL Prediction
FC Juarez’s losing run is the through-line here, and nothing in this matchup suggests it ends against a Tigres UANL side that, patchy as their own form has been, still carries far more control in the final third through Brunetta and Aguirre. Expect Estupinan to find a goal of his own for the home side, but for Tigres UANL’s greater quality up front to tell late on. We’re backing a 1-2 away win, with goals at both ends.
