FC Juarez vs. Pumas UNAM Betting Prediction

FC Juarez Preview

Martin Varini’s crew roll into this weekend's battle with mixed feelings, as the club has only won two of their previous 10 league matches. On the other hand, Los Bravos have only been defeated twice in the same time frame. In their regular season finale, FC Juarez was upended on home soil losing 2-0 against Querètaro. 

Defensive midfielder Guilherme Castilho led the way for Los Bravos in the goals department in 2025. His four tallys led the club which has seen him register two in his closing four league matches. This is Castilho’s second term in Liga MX which saw him garner a goal and three assists in his debut season. 

Castilho’s compatriot from Brazil, Madson, added quality value in his first taste of Mexican top-flight soccer. In 12 outings, the 25-year-old cataloged three goals and two assists. Madson's arrival has been positive, as he averaged 1.65 shots taken per 90 this year, placing him in the upper tier with his colleagues at midfield.

Pumas UNAM Preview

It was statistically one of the worst campaigns in recent memory for Efrain Juarez’s men who finished the 2025 Clausura with underwhelming performances. Checking into the play-in stage, Pumas faded down the stretch only securing two wins from their prior nine affairs across all competitions. 

Leading the club with five goals in the tournament, Ignacio Pussetto will need to halt his current cold streak. The striker has failed to find the back of the net in six of his last seven appearances in domestic play. The attacking forward has suited up in an Auriazules kit in 38 instances in all competitive matches, fabricating nine goals since July 2024. 

Between the sticks, Alex Padilla struggled to adjust to a new club and country in his first Liga MX adventure. The on-loan product from La Liga outfit Athletic Club has assembled inadequate numbers. Through 10 starts, the keeper possesses a 56.4 save percentage while conceding an average of 1.70 goals per match.

FC Juarez vs. Pumas UNAM - My Pick

• FC Juarez vs. Pumas UNAM pick: FC Juarez draw no bet (-120) at bet365

In the head-to-head section of this fixture, Pumas claims the edge only losing on three occasions in their last 16 meetings. Despite the overwhelming trend, we feel the hosts can hang around and at least bring this skirmish to extra time all square. FC Juarez made life difficult for the opposition entering Estadio Olimpico Benito Juarez, only losing twice in nine home dates. Pumas have played a lot of soccer this year juggling between multiple series’, they are the more fatigued and banged up. Pumas has failed to rise to the big moments this year, expect Los Bravos to make this a cagey affair.
