Season ticket holders at Estadio Jalisco haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Atlas languishing in the 13th position so far. The guesting Necaxa will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
