FC Juarez host Atlante FC at Estadio Olimpico Benito Juarez on Tuesday, October 20 (9:00 PM ET / 8:00 PM CT / 6:00 PM PT).
FC Juarez have no fresh absences to report, which means Oscar Estupinan Vallesilla should lead the line again after piling up 6 goals from 24 shots already this season. Jose Luis Rodriguez Francis, who has created 15 chances and provided 3 assists from midfield, looks set to pull the strings again, while Atlante arrive with their own options up top: Jhojan Julio Palacios has scored 2 goals and created 22 chances, and Walter Portales Chavez offers an outlet from wing-back with 16 chances created and 2 assists of his own.
Both sides have leaked goals almost as readily as they’ve scored them this season, and that trend looks set to continue here. FC Juarez’s home form has been shaky, with just one win in their last five games, but Estupinan Vallesilla’s finishing gives them a route to goals even on an off night. Atlante’s attack, led by Julio Palacios and backed by five players with two goals apiece, should find chances of its own. Expect goals at both ends, with FC Juarez’s extra edge in front of goal settling it late on.
