Stumbling Atlas will hope to pull off a surprise when they host hard-driving América in the upcoming league round. It’s 17th vs 1st and the home crowd will have low expectations.

Insights:
  • Atlas have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • América have the the best goal difference (+21) in Liga MX

Not much time to rest for the host team, as they had a Liga MX match only three days back. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Cruz Azul.

Atlas form and stats

When playing at home in the Liga MX, Atlas have managed 3 wins, 2 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 8 games. Atlas has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager Mora and the players.

Quiñones was the last player to score a league goal for Atlas and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Atlas haven't scored in 273 minutes.

Atlas are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Cruz Azul. Nervo was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.85 out of 10. The defender Nervo won 4 of 8 duels.

Before that game, the home loss against Tigres UANL with the scoreline 0-1.

Atlas are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 8 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Atlas have conceded 10 in these home matches.

Valdés and Suárez scored in América's previous match, the home game against Tijuana that ended 2-1. Which player has bagged at least one goal three matches in a row for the away side?

Suárez scored one goal, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times and had 29 successful passes (of 36 total).

Prior to that result América won their away game at Atletico San Luis. The scoreline was 3-1.

Goal hungry football fans should note that 17 of this club's 19 most recent league matches have ended with at least three goals.

As opposed to that, América have seen the ball go into their own net 11 times on the road.
