Atlas hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 6 points and a 15th position in the Liga MX table. Visiting Pachuca holds 11th place with 7 pts.

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Copa MX game only three days ago. That game, against Toluca, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Pachuca.

Atlas form and stats

Three Liga MX home games done for Atlas, who are not happy collecting 3 points from these matches.

The fans are hoping that Atlas will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the Liga MX game against America (placed 2nd). Ahead of that match, Atlas lost 1-3 at home to Morelia.

The Atlas fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 3 in 3 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Atlas defense is not exactly impregnable. 5 goals conceded from 3 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Pachuca form and stats

It's not happening yet for Pachuca on their Liga MX travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? Three consecutive losses in away matches means Pachuca are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Pachuca, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-5 versus Toluca (placed 12th). Before that, Pachuca secured a home win against Puebla with the score 1-0.

Pachuca lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 1-5 beating and focus on this one.

The visitors have scored 2 goals from 3 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Pachuca's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 8 goals in 3 travels.

Head 2 Head

These teams' last encounter with each other was the Pachuca - Atlas 3-1 earlier this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Atlas won two games, five matches ended with a draw and Pachuca has three wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: two / eight
