Atlas form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Liga MX this season. Atlas, who have the fewest points (7) at home in Liga MX, have only managed 2 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses from their games here at Estadio Jalisco. Atlas are slowly digging their own grave here at Estadio Jalisco with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Cruz Azul match.

Atlas are returning here after visiting Pachuca in a Liga MX game and winning with a 1-0 scoreline. Victor Malcorra scored the goal(s). The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Santos Laguna.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Atlas here at Estadio Jalisco in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (5 from 8 games). 8 goals have been conceded. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
