The story so far in the Liga MX for Atlas at their home stadium (Estadio Jalisco) is 3 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats.
It's back home for Atlas, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Puebla away with the result 4-0. Lozano (2) and Quiñones found the net in that victory. This was their first victory after ten consecutive league games without winning! As indicated by the result mentioned above, Atlas played a great game against Puebla and beat them comfortably.

Midfield player Lozano got a match rating of 8.81 in that game, the max score being 10. Lozano scored two goals and had 39 successful passes (of 44 total).
A win at home before that one, as expected. The team were huge favourites against Olimpia and won 4-0.

Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Atlas as a small favourite), we find 11 games. Atlas has won 2 of these, drawn 3 and lost 6.
The manager Mora will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Philadelphia Union in only three days.
