Atlético San Luis are believing in their home fans to assist them during this meeting hosting Necaxa. Who will win at Estadio Alfonso Lastras Ramírez?

Insights:
  • Atlético San Luis have yet to win a game at home.
  • Necaxa have won significantly less corners away then at home.

There have been limited time to rest for the hosting team, as they featured in a Liga MX fixture only four days earlier. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Juarez.

Atlético San Luis form and stats

Atlético San Luis have played three Liga MX home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Atlético San Luis are splitting points both home and away, currently holding an interesting streak of four drawn games in a row.

The home team returns to Estadio Alfonso Lastras Ramírez after drawing with Juarez (placed 12th) on their last time out; the game ended 1-1. The striker Merino outperformed all the other players in that match and got a match rating of 7.45 out of 10. Merino scored one goal.

Before that, Atlético played out a draw 0-0 when visiting Puebla.

This is expected to be a close game, with Atlético San Luis perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Atlético San Luis as a small favourite), we find 15 games. Atlético San Luis has won 3 of these, drawn 5 and lost 7.

Sports bettors who prefer gambling for low-scoring games might like knowing that this team have played 6 league fixtures in a row with zero, one or two goals (under 2.5).

Atlético San Luis are traveling soon after this match as the Liga MX match at Queretaro awaits in four days.

Atlético have scored 1 goal here in 3 league matches, a depressing statistic.

Necaxa form and stats

Things could have gone better for Necaxa in their Liga MX away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right. Necaxa seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

It might be tough going out on the road again for Necaxa, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Cruz Azul (placed 10th). Midfield player Esquivel was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.62/10. Esquivel hit one key pass and had 50 successful passes (of 55 total).

Prior to that match, a home win 2-0 against Pachuca.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Necaxa playing away and similar expectations, we found 13 relevant matches. Results were 5 Necaxa wins, 1 draw and 7 defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Necaxa as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Atlético San Luis two wins, one draw and Necaxa seven victories. As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six games had two or less.
