Atlas form and stats

Atlas have played 6 Liga MX games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-1-2 (wins-draws-losses).

In their previous game, the manager D. Cocca Pera led his Atlas to a defeat in the Liga MX match away at Mazatlan. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio Jalisco. Julián Quiñones, an attacker, was the best performer for the side in that match, receiving a rating of 7.7 (out of 10). Quiñones hit three key passes.

In the game before, an away victory match versus Guadalajara with a 1-0 scoreline.

This is expected to be a close game, with Atlas perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Atlas as a small favourite), we find ten games. Atlas has won two of these, drawn one and lost seven.

Atlas has scored 6 league goals at home this season, in 6 matches. As for guarding their own goal, Atlas have only let in 3 goals at home.
