Juárez vs América - Team news

Juárez get to this game on a ten-game run without a win, which includes six draws and four losses. The team's record playing at home is not that impressive, as the green and red club has only two wins, three draws, and two defeats, the last one of those against Puebla (2-0). In terms of individual performances, the club will rely heavily on Tomás Molina, the team's top scorer with four goals in twelve games played.

Las Águilas reach Matchday 17 with everything to play for. Fernando Ortíz's men enter this clash with only one loss in the tournament, a 3-0 defeat against Pachuca. Since then, América have won four out of their last six, with their most recent fixture ending in a one-all draw against Pumas at home. The coach has decided to rest some of his players so they can reach the playoffs in top form, but one of those who will be around is Henry Martín, the goalscoring leader of the competition with 14 goals, and who has become a driving force for América during the entire season.

Here is the list of absences for both sides ahead of this game.

Juárez: Emiliano Velázquez, Manuel Castro (injured).

América: Jonathan Rodríguez, Federico Viñas, Nestor Araujo (ruled out due to coach's decision).

Juárez vs América - Standings prior to this match

América are second prior to the start of Matchday 17, and a win could practically secure them the second place with the playoffs in sight. A draw could see them drop to fourth, while a loss could cause them to slip all the way to fifth and into the wild card round. On the other hand, Juárez are 16th, and a win for them could give them a chance to reach the wild card round, but they would need losses by San Luis, Pumas, Puebla, and Tijuana to hold on to that spot. Any other outcome to the game would see them out of the tournament.
