Liga MX Predictions, Betting Odds, Picks January 7

Juarez will play Nexaca in the bottom-half clash. Puebla will host Club America.

Juarez and Nexaca are playing each other on Friday night. Juarez finished 16th last season with 15 points in 17 matches. Nexacas finished last in the Liga MX with 11 points from 17 games.

Juarez are looking for a player to emulate David Lezcano's performance last season. Juarez scored 13 goals last year and conceded 29. Their goal difference of -16 was the worst in the Mexican league.

Nexaca finished at the bottom of the league last season. They scored 14 goals and conceded 29. Nexaca will be aiming to improve on that. They will also be looking to avoid a last-place finish in the 2020-21 season, like Juarez did.

Club America finished the regular season of the previous edition of Liga MX with 38 points in 17 games. Puebla finished third in the league with 28 points, but they were beaten by Leon in quarter-final of playoffs. Club America has a slight skill advantage.

Puebla scored 25 goals in the Liga MX this season in 17 regular season matches. Daniel Alvarez led the scoring with four goals last season. Christian Tabo and Fernando Aristeguieta contributed with three goals each. PueblA allowed just 11 goals, the joint fewest in Liga Mexico.

Club America scored 26 goals last season, the joint highest in the Liga MX. Henry Martin, Roger Martinez, and Emanuel Aguilera were the main scorers. Club America are better suited for quick soccer across all phases of the soccer pitch. Their stats suggest they transition better from the middle into the final third.
