Club Tijuana travel this weekend to face FC Juárez, aiming for a result to steady their inconsistent Apertura 2026 campaign. The match kicks off on Saturday, October 10 at 23:00 UTC at the Estadio Olímpico Benito Juárez.
The border side arrives following a bitter 2-3 home defeat to Atlas on September 26. Mourad El Ghezouani and José Rivero scored for the Xoloitzcuintles, but two late goals turned the game around. That result left Club Tijuana eighth in the Liga MX table with 14 points from four wins, two draws, and three losses. The team has scored 14 goals this season, but their defense has been leaky, conceding 13, averaging 1.44 goals against per game.
FC Juárez sit bottom of the league in 18th place. Their last outing was a 1-2 loss to León on September 28. Their only win in the last five matchdays was a 2-0 victory over Tigres UANL on September 19, a game in which they fielded a five-defender formation.
For Saturday's clash, the manager could make adjustments to the lineup that lost to Atlas, where Adonis Preciado provided an assist and Unai Bilbao was part of the central defense.
