Atlas form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Atlas's two home games so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Estadio Jalisco.

A good away victory last time out for Atlas, who won 2-1 against Veracruz. A Copa MX defeat was the result before that one, 2-3 away at Atlético Zacatepec.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Atlas have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found three matches with the results: Won 2 Drawn 0 Lost 1.
