Atlas are welcoming Mazatlán for another important game after their 1-1 result against 6th-placed Monterrey.
It's no vacation for neither Atlas nor Mazatlán as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Atlas form and stats
2-0-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Liga MX numbers at home for Atlas so far this season. Two home wins in a row for Atlas bring valid hopes of a third.
An away draw last time out for Atlas, facing Monterrey in a game that ended 1-1. Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Cruz Azul.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Atlas have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eight games) they have won four times, drawn one and lost three.
Atlas has scored 4 league goals at home this season, in 4 matches. 4 goals have been conceded.
Mazatlán form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Liga MX travels is 0 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Mazatlán's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Mazatlán are travelling after their nice 1-0 home win in the Liga MX against Tijuana (placed 13th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against América wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.
Mazatlán are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, zero draws and two defeats. From a total of two matches.
Mazatlán are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 5 away goals from 4 games (in the league). The Mazatlán manager J. Palencia Hernández has some worries about the defense as 9 goals have been conceded in these travels.
