It's only been four sleeps since Tampico Madero faced Dorados and the scoreline was 1-0. What will happen versus Atlante?

Insights:
  • Tampico Madero is in the best form (4-2-0) in Liga de Expansión MX
  • Atlante have the fewest conceded goals (9) in Liga de Expansión MX

Atlante have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1700 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

It's no vacation for neither Tampico nor Atlante as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
