Week 8 brings us a match on Mar 2nd, where Juárez will travel to Puebla to battle Puebla in a Liga MX match. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 20 degrees, a perfect day for football. In their last match, 3rd placed Puebla, recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Monterrey. Diego De Buen struck first for Puebla in the 3rd minute, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else In the end, Monterrey couldn’t muster any offence and Puebla ran away with the shutout win. With 21 points in their last 10 matches Puebla should be reasonably happy with their performance, while in their last match, Juárez recorded a 2-3 loss against Tigres UANL. Florian Thauvin struck first for Tigres UANL in the 15th minute, then Gignac added another in the 17th minute. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 6 of their last 10.
In their last match together, in Estadio Olímpico Benito Juárez, Puebla won by a score of 2 to 0. Christian Tabó struck first for Puebla in the 66th minute, then Guillermo Martinez Ayala added another in the 69th minute In the end, Juárez was frustrated by Puebla’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Puebla ended the match with the shutout victory.
Juárez’s top weapon lately has been Fernando Arce Juárez, who has two goals in the last 5 matches. Pablo Parra and Salcedo Hernandez are the top scorers for Puebla in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal.
