Strap in ladies and gents, we're embarking on the thrilling match-up between Juárez FC and Querétaro - a clash that has given us plenty to chat about over the years.
Glancing at the rear-view mirror, seems like these two teams enjoy a dance on the razors edge. Their past showdowns have been quite a spectacle, offering us a seesaw-like goal roller coaster. Juárez seemed to enjoy the air on top during the last dance, but let's not discount Querétaro's previous solid performance where they popped in 3 beautiful ones against Juárez.
Juárez FC seems to have steadied their ship in calmer waters with a plausible 6-6-4 record during the regular season. Little more on the winning side of things, you see. They've even proven to be quite the wall recently, with their defense transforming into Fort Knox and leaking only 4 goals in their recent matches.
Querétaro, on the other hand, looks like they're teetering precariously on the high wire with a see-saw-ish performance throughout the regular season illustrating a 5-2-8 record. They've been tasting victory and defeat almost as much as my Aunt Martha's gnarly holiday fruitcake, but hats off to them for turning the tables against Santos Laguna in a recent outing.
Locking horns in this forthcoming battle, Querétaro will certainly have their work cut out. Juárez FC has home advantage, a slight nick in favor as per the spread, and a glittering record of deadlocks which screams resilience louder than a chainsaw at a silent retreat.
Hence, I'm tipping towards a Juárez FC victory. But with these two, predicting the precise winning margin feels a bit like pinning Jell-O to the wall. So, let's say by the width of a wafer - a single goal.
