Atlas form and stats
Atlas have played 9 Liga MX games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-2-3 (wins-draws-losses).
Happy days for Atlas in their previous game, a Liga MX match away at Pumas UNAM that ended with a 1-0 victory. Anderson Santamaría was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.93 out of 10. The defender Santamaría won 8 of 13 duels.
Preceding that game was the home draw versus Monterrey that ended 1-1.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 nine games) they have won six times, drawn zero and lost three.
Atlas aren't scoring a lot here at Estadio Jalisco in the league, with only 8 goals from 9 games. From these home matches, Atlas have conceded only 5 goals. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Preceding that game was the away victory against America with the score of 3-1.Pumas are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is three wins, six draws and ten defeats. From a total of 19 matches.
The visitors have scored 6 goals from 8 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches.
