FC Juarez vs Atlas FC: Predictions, Picks, Odds & Lineups

FC Juarez host Atlas FC at Estadio Olimpico Benito Juarez on Friday, November 20 (10:00 PM ET / 9:00 PM CT / 7:00 PM PT).

FC Juarez have no fresh team-news concerns, and Oscar Estupinan leads the line after scoring 8 goals from 36 shots this season. Jose Luis Rodriguez Francis sits behind him, with 19 chances created and 3 assists underlining his creative influence in midfield. Atlas also have a fully available squad, and Luis Leite Esteves pulls the strings from attacking midfield after creating 33 chances to go with 5 goals and 3 assists, while Florian Monzon leads their line with 5 goals from 31 shots.

Expect a tight contest rather than an afternoon of fireworks. FC Juarez arrive full of confidence following consecutive wins, 1-0 away at Atletico San Luis and 3-1 at home over Queretaro FC. Those scorelines sit alongside a chastening 5-0 loss at Cruz Azul in the same stretch of form, a reminder the Juarez defense can be breached. Atlas, for their part, go into this off a 1-4 home defeat to Pachuca, with a 1-0 win at Atletico San Luis the result before that, and their own defense has leaked goals all season, shipping 4 at home to Pachuca and 5 away at Club America. With both sides carrying goals at each end, this looks set up for a narrow home win rather than a rout.

FC Juarez vs Atlas FC Prediction

Our prediction: FC Juarez to win 2-1. The hosts’ attack, built around Estupinan’s eight goals, should have enough in front of their own supporters at Estadio Olimpico Benito Juarez, even if Atlas’s own firepower through Leite Esteves and Monzon means this one won’t be a shutout. Expect goals at both ends, but Juarez’s recent results, 1-0 at Atletico San Luis and 3-1 over Queretaro FC, tip this in their favor by a single goal.
