Necaxa host FC Juarez at Estadio Victoria on Friday, October 23 (9:00 PM ET / 8:00 PM CT / 6:00 PM PT).
Necaxa have no fresh availability concerns to report, and Julian Carranza — 7 goals from 34 shots, with 14 on target and 10 chances created in 907 minutes — remains the player opposing defenses have to account for first. Matias Espindola has chipped in with 2 goals and 15 chances created from midfield, while Owen Gonzalez and Miguel Rodriguez Macias both bring goals of their own from the engine room. FC Juarez are similarly unaffected by injury news, with Oscar Estupinan their most reliable source of goals on 6 from 24 shots, backed by Jose Luis Rodriguez Francis, who has created 15 chances and added 3 assists from midfield.
Necaxa have conceded in all 5 of their last 5 matches, including 4 in that home defeat to Club America, while Juarez have shipped goals in 4 of their past 5 games too, the exception a 2-0 shutout of Tigres UANL. That points to an open game at Estadio Victoria, with Carranza and Necaxa’s attack carrying enough edge to get the better of a Juarez side that has won just 1 of its last 5. Expect goals at both ends before Necaxa see it out.
