Cruz Azul<\/a> host FC Juarez<\/a> at Estadio Azteca on Saturday, October 17 (11:00 PM ET \/ 10:00 PM CT \/ 8:00 PM PT).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cruz Azul go into this one with no fresh fitness concerns to report, which should mean a settled look up front. Nicolas Ibanez and Gabriel Fernandez have scored 4 goals apiece this season and look set to lead the line again, with Jose Paradela pulling strings behind them after racking up 5 assists and 24 chances created. FC Juarez, also with a clean bill of health, will lean on Oscar Estupinan, the division’s standout scorer in this matchup with 6 goals, while Jose Rodriguez has created 15 chances from midfield.<\/p>\n

Cruz Azul have scored in bunches lately \u2014 four against Club America, three against Toluca \u2014 and with Estupinan in such sharp form up top for Juarez, neither side looks built for a shutout. Expect goals at both ends, but Cruz Azul’s firepower up front should be enough to see them over the line in a game that ends up with chances for both sides rather than a tight, low-event affair.<\/p>\n
