Their results in chronological order are loss to Toluca (0-2), a home win against América (1-0), an away loss to Pumas UNAM (1-3), a home victory over Atlético de San Luis (2-0), and a 1-1 away draw against Querétaro. This sequence has earned them 7 points in their last five games.

FC Juarez have struggled to find consistency, with four losses in their last five matches before a recent win. Their form includes a 1-2 away loss at Santos, a 0-2 home defeat by Pachuca, a 0-4 away loss to Toluca, and a 1-2 home loss to América.

head-to-head record

The two sides have met once this season, with León winning the encounter 3-1 at home on 19 April 2026. This single meeting has produced four goals in total, with León claiming the upper hand. There have been no draws or away wins in their recent head-to-head matches, which could influence the dynamics of this fixture.

expectations for the match

Given León’s higher league position, better recent form and previous victory over FC Juarez, they look well placed to secure another positive result. FC Juarez’s struggles both defensively and in accumulating points suggest they will face a tough challenge away from home. However, their last game’s win might offer a boost in confidence. The match promises to be competitive, with León aiming to consolidate their standing while FC Juarez seek to close the significant points gap.
