Atlas form and stats

Atlas, who have the fewest conceded goals (4) in Liga MX, have collected 7 points from their Liga MX home games so far after 2-1-1.

Happy days for Atlas in their previous game, a Liga MX match away at Necaxa (placed 12th) that ended with a 3-0 victory. The talented striker Julián Quiñones bested all teammates in that fixture and received a match rating of 9.24 out of 10. Quiñones scored two goals, served one assist and hit two key passes.

Before that, Atlas had a home game versus Monterrey which ended with a victory 2-1.

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 ten matches with the results: Won one, drawn one and lost eight.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Atlas as they have a new game in only three days, a Liga MX match thankfully also at home. Puebla are visiting.

The Atlas fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 4 matches. Atlas have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 2 goals.

León form and stats

As the visiting team in Liga MX matches, León have produced an overall stat of 2-1-1 so far.

Montes hit one key pass, dribled passed the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 29 successful passes (of 36 total).

Before that, León travelled to Tigres UANL and returned home with a draw after the game finished 2-2.
