Chivas Guadalajara vs Juarez Predictions

• Including friendlies, Chivas Guadalajara have now won their last 4 matches, scoring an average of 2.25 goals a game in the process.
• Chivas Guadalajara have won 6 of their last 10 Liga MX home games.
• Juarez have won just 1 of their 9 away games in Liga MX this season, losing 6 times in the process.

Chivas Guadalajara looking for home win

After finishing just 2 points shy of the play-offs in the opening phase of the campaign, Chivas Guadalajara will be trying to make it into the top eight in this closing phase. On paper, the side certainly have the ability to compete at the top end of Liga MX but making a good start to the Clausura is key and that makes Sunday’s game quite a big one.

Indeed, a home clash with Juarez is one the side should really be winning and having won their last 4 matches whilst scoring an average of 2.25 goals a game, confidence can be high going into it. Typically strong at home, where they’ve won 6 of their last 10 Liga MX matches, it’s fair to say it’d be surprising if Chivas were to drop points in Sunday’s match.

Juarez hoping to cause an upset

Meanwhile, after securing promotion from the second tier, little was expected of Juarez coming into the season. Indeed, the side pulled up few trees over the Apertura phase, collecting just 18 points from 18 games but the fact that Veracruz’s financial issues means no side will be going down at the end of the campaign lifts the pressure on the visitors over the coming months.

Without any real quality on paper, Juarez are certainly one of the weaker sides in Liga MX and they’re unlikely to improve a great amount in the closing phase. Having won just 1 of their 9 away league matches this term, whilst losing 6 times in the process, their prospects cannot be considered high heading into Sunday’s game.

A home win is expected

Ultimately, Chivas Guadalajara are clear favourites to win this game and for obvious reason. Man for man, they are stronger than Juarez in all areas of the pitch and with home advantage on their side, anything but a home win would be a big surprise.

All things considered, we’re more than happy to back Chivas Guadalajara to secure victory with maximum confidence and feel it provides good value at current prices. Chivas aren’t finding goals hard to come by of late and they should be able to put a couple past a pretty weak Juarez team; with a 2-0 margin of home victory on the cards.
