Atlas form and stats

Only two Liga MX home games for Atlas so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat.

The Atlas supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Tijuana in Liga MX and win 2-1. Heartbreak before that as Atlas lost 2-3 at Toluca's place.

Manager O. Flores Serrano felt very clever after Javier Correa scored the winning goal against Tijuana, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 82nd minute.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Atlas at home in the league. 2 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
