FC Juarez will be the visitors, as they look to cause a shock.
America Facts To Know
Few sides were as impressive throughout the opening Torneo Apertura last season than Club America. They finished the campaign at the top of the la Liga Mx standings after winning 12 of their 17 matches. However, they exited the Apetura at the semi-final stage later in the season, before finishing second in the Clausura standings and falling at the same hurdle.
But, their consistent nature will once again make them incredibly challenging to overlook throughout this initial phase of the competition this year. They boasted one of the most prolific strikers in the competition last term, as Henry Martin netted 27 goals. The 30-year-old will be key to their chances once again this term.
FC Juarez Facts To Know
FC Juarez will come into today’s soccer matches believing that they can improve on their performances from last term. They finished the Apertura stage in eleventh overall last term, meaning that they qualified for the reclassification. However, they ultimately finished down in 16th in the Liga MX standings in the second half of the season.
Juarez managed to land just four victories from their 17 matches last term in this stage, but they were incredibly difficult to beat. Overall, they lost just six times in their Apertura matches, and conceded just 18 goals.
That ranked among the best defensive records in the competition. That could be a key factor before assessing the America vs Juarez best bets this week.
