Neither Mazatlan nor Juarez have much scope to climb Liga MX’s rankings as the pair collide on Friday. Watch the game live free on Fubo.
The end of the Liga MX Clausura is in sight for both Mazatlan and Juarez, who face off on Friday both in the knowledge that this will be their penultimate fixtures of the 2023-24 campaign. Neither outfit has any chance of advancing to this season’s Liguilla as they sit 13th and 16th in the standings, respectively, and with very little scope to improve those prospects in the closing weeks of the calendar. There’s plenty of pride left to fight for, however, as Los Cañoneros look to avenge the 3-1 humbling they suffered at Juarez’s hands when these teams faced off in the Apertura back in September.

Diego Valoyes, Aitor Garcia and Aviles Hurtado were the scorers for Juarez on that occasion, but Mauricio Barbieri’s men look all but certain to fail in matching their Apertura return at the end of last year.
A sudden surge in results has propelled the club from the base of the standings after somehow piecing together three straight wins over Puebla, Santos Laguna and Atletico San Luis.
That run came almost three years after Juarez mast managed to win three games in succession, and the reward has been a rocket rise to 16th ahead of Tijuana.
Mazatlan, on the other hand, is hoping to finish this Clausura campaign having won back-to-back fixtures on at least one occasion, having failed to do so thus far.
Interim manager Gilberto Adame collected a 2-0 win at Queretaro last time out as Andres Montano and Jose Esquivel scored either side of half-time:
That was enough to lift Mazatlan up to 13th in the table, even if the club’s hopes of a place in the post-season were already well over.
Juarez triumphed 3-2 the last time it visited the Estadio El Encanto in Liga MX back in February 2023, though Mazatlan beat this same foe out of the Leagues Cup on penalties here in July that year.
