It's the second chance for points this season as Atlas and Pumas UNAM battle it out at Estadio Jalisco.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

The fans are hoping that Atlas will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-3 away loss in the Liga MX game against Tijuana (placed 4th). Preceding that match was a defeat to Guadalajara (1-2).
