Charlotte face Juarez in the League Cup group stage in North Carolina. It has been a nightmare start for Juarez this season who are currently sat in 17th in the Liga MX just one position above bottom placed team Querétaro FC. They have not managed to win a single game in their last 5 matches losing 2 and drawing 3 while only scoring 3. Charlotte on the other hand have won their last 4 matches. Getting a comfortable 2-0 win at home against Toronto on Sunday.
Team News
Charlotte will be without their fullbacks Nathan Byrne who has been dealing with a Neck injury since April and Souleyman Doumbia with a hamstring issue. Oscar Estupinan has an issue with his heel but could feature should he pass a late fitness test.
Head-to-Head
Charlotte have never faced Juarez before.
Where the game will be decided
Juarez will have to deal with Wilfried Zaha, Kevin Vargas and Idan Toklomati, these 3 have been scoring for fun recently. Juarez on the other hand cannot seem to score a goal to save their lives, having just 3 goals in 5 matches. It will be a tough task for the Mexican side if they are to overcome the might of the MLS side.
Prediction
It should be an easy win for the men in Blue and white, Juarez are in a bad shape right now and could see their horrid league run continue in this cup.
Charlotte FC 2-0 FC Juarez
