It's the second chance for points this season as Atlas and Juárez battle it out at Estadio Jalisco.

Atlas and Juárez should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

These teams have little in common geographically as Juárez have to travel 1500 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Atlas form and stats

Last season, Atlas's league statistics were 3 wins, 5 draws and 9 losses, resulting in a 16th position in the Liga MX. Over these 17 matches they scored 13 goals and conceded 20. Playing at home last season Atlas managed 2-1-5 (win-draw-lost) with 5 goals and 8 conceded.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 211 minutes without scoring a league goal. J. M. Torres Ramirez I. was the last player to find the net.

Atlas drew their last game, 0-0 away at Pumas UNAM (placed 10th). Defender Anderson Santamaría got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.55/10. Santamaría hit one key pass and won 7 of 12 duels.

A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Puebla.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Atlas matches with similar probabilities have ended with two wins, zero draws and zero defeats (from two games).

Juárez form and stats

Let's have a look at how Juárez performed last season in the Liga MX: They landed a 13th position in the league table after playing out 4 victories, 7 draws and 6 defeats. In total they scored 16 and conceded 19 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 1 - drew 3 and lost 4 with 10/13 goals scored/conceded.

The manager R. Ferretti was unhappy after their last game, a Liga MX match played at their home ground Estadio Olímpico Benito Juárez. Juárez suffered a 1-3 loss to Toluca (placed 3rd). Carlos Rodríguez was the team player of the game with the player rating of 7.12. The agile goalkeeper Rodríguez saved a penalty and stopped the opponent with four saves.

Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against Toluca.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Juárez when being an outsider away as they are today, we find five matches with the visitors losing two times, drawing one and winning two games.
