FC Juarez vs. Santos Laguna Betting Prediction 

FC Juarez Preview 

Saturday evening, Martín Varini’s men pulled off one of the biggest upsets in the Apertura, walking into Estadio Akron and leaving with all three points in their back pocket. The 2-1 victory over Chivas Guadalajara was only the second time in 17 previous meetings that Los Bravos could upend their counterpart. The star of the show was between the sticks as Sebastián Jurado Roca made four crucial stops to help preserve his club, nabbing all three points. 

Striker Óscar Estupiñán gained entry onto the scoresheet for the first time this season. His tally opened the scoring during Saturday’s contest, with his goal coming from the penalty spot. The club hopes the Colombian can replicate his 2024 Apertura display, which saw him score seven goals in just over 1000 minutes of work.

Santos Laguna Preview

Francisco’s troops continue to struggle, leaving points on the board and failing to obtain results in recent weeks. Santos Laguna looked primed to finish level with Cruz Azul, but letting their guard down, they conceded in the 84th minute, suffering their third Liga MX defeat after five matches. 

The Verdiblancos hope Cristian Dájome has finally found his scoring touch in the Mexican top-flight division. After going goalless in 12 Clausura appearances, since the opening of the Apertura regular season, he has found the back of the net on three occasions in eight outings. The attacking forward has spent time in MLS with DC United and the Vancouver Whitecaps, garnering 24 goals in 162 appearances across all competitions.

FC Juarez vs. Santos Laguna - My Pick

• FC Juarez vs. Santos Laguna pick: Both teams to score yes (-143) at bet365 

We anticipate that this skirmish will materialize into a scenario where both opposing keepers will be breached. FC Juarez has failed to keep the ball out of their own net lately, conceding a goal in 12 straight matches. Santos Laguna hasn’t accomplished much on the backend, allowing 11 goals in their previous five games between multiple competitions.

In Liga MX play, Los Bravos are hovering just over both teams' average to score, as 60 percent of their clashes have transpired into both clubs getting into the scorers' sheet. In comparison, for the visitors, it has occurred in 40 percent of their league matches. Friday’s encounter should see both teams scoring in this matchup, as it has materialized in three of the previous five gatherings.
