Juarez is set to clash with Club America at the Estádio Olímpico Benito Juárez on Thursday as part of the ongoing 2024 Liga MX Clausura campaign.
The home team has had a sluggish start to their league journey, facing a 1-0 defeat against Pumas UNAM in the inaugural match. Their subsequent encounter against Cruz Azul ended in a goalless draw, with goalkeeper Sebastian Jurado’s heroic saves, including a late penalty denial against his former club, salvaging a point for Juarez.
Currently positioned 12th in the league standings with just one point, Juarez is eager to secure their maiden victory of the season in Thursday’s fixture.
On the other hand, Club America secured a convincing 2-0 victory against Tijuana in their league opener, courtesy of a late brace by Salvador Reyes. They continued their winning streak with a comfortable 2-0 triumph over Queretaro, with Richard Sanchez and Julian Quinones finding the net in the second half.
Sitting atop the Liga MX standings with a perfect six-point record, Club America aims to extend their winning streak in the upcoming clash.

Conversely, Juarez finds itself among the three sides in the Mexican top flight this season that are yet to score any goals, highlighting their struggle to find the back of the net.
