Pumas UNAM are not a good team right now. In Apertura, they finished 16th on the table with 14 points from 17 played matches, so Pumas UNAM were far from the playoff spot. They had eight draws in 17 league rounds. Pumas UNAM were the second-worst defensive team with 31 allowed goals.
The team made a few transfers in the current transfer window, but Pumas Unam shouldn't be much better than before. They clearly tried to strengthen defense as Pumas Unam signed so far goalkeeper, a center-back, and two left-backs. Still, the quality of those players is not good enough to change the team dramatically.
Juarez finished 11th in Apertura with 19 points. They played in the playoff but were beaten already in the first step against Toluca. Most of Juarez's games finished with a draw (seven of 17 league rounds). Juarez had problems with scoring, as they scored only 17 goals.
Juarez didn't change too much either during the recent transfer window. Actually, they signed one very good player, a right midfielder, Manuel Castro, who came from Argentinian Estudiantes. Still, Castro tore ligaments in his knee about two weeks ago, so he will not play in Clausura.
Four of the last seven h2h matches between Pumas UNAM and Juarez finished with a draw. In the previous h2h game, Juarez won 3-1 at the home stadium.
A draw should be a suitable bet for this tie.

Pumas UNAM Team News
Pumas UNAM's head coach Rafael Puente came to the club during last Apertura. He didn't impress, but the board gave him another chance. A few days ago, Puente said his players are determined to prove their qualities in the new Clausura. Still, it is hard to believe that they will change too much.

Juarez Team News
Juarez had one clear problem during Apertura. That is of course poor attacking line. They didn't sign any forwards in recent weeks. Midfielder Manuel Castro was that guy, who could change Juarez's creativity and scoring aspects, but he is out after a severe injury.
