The FC Juarez vs Cruz Azul match will be broadcast on Fubo Sports, FOX Sports 1, and FOX Deportes on Saturday, January 18, at 6:00 PM ET / 3:00 PM PT. From the Estadio Olimpico Benito Juarez, the home team, led by Martin Varini, will look to assert themselves, while Cruz Azul, under the guidance of Martin Anselmi, will aim for their first victory of the tournament. Find out how both teams are performing, their strengths, and what’s at stake in this clash.

How Is FC Juarez Performing?

FC Juarez, managed by Martin Varini, started the Clausura 2025 with a 1-1 draw against Mazatlan in a match where they showed glimpses of defensive solidity but struggled in attack. They managed to equalize late in the game, demonstrating a fighting spirit. However, their inability to create more clear chances is an area they need to improve to compete consistently this season.

In the Apertura 2024, Juarez had an inconsistent campaign. While they secured notable victories like 1-0 against Pachuca and 2-1 against Queretaro, they also suffered heavy defeats, including a 4-0 loss to Cruz Azul and a 3-2 loss to Leon. Last season highlighted a defense that conceded critical goals at crucial moments, an issue Varini must address to avoid repeating past mistakes.

How Is Cruz Azul Performing?

Cruz Azul, led by Martin Anselmi, opened the Clausura 2025 with a 1-1 draw against Atlas. In this match, the team displayed a balance between defense and attack but lacked finishing efficiency in key moments, which cost them a win. Despite creating several opportunities, their only goal came from a penalty in the second half. Anselmi will need to find solutions to maximize his squad's offensive potential.

In the Apertura 2024, Cruz Azul had standout moments such as their 3-0 victory over Tijuana and 2-0 win against Santos Laguna. However, they were also part of high-stakes matches like the semifinal against America, where they lost 4-3 in a thrilling encounter. This tournament offers them an opportunity to solidify their playing style and aim for top positions in the table.
