Cruz Azul form and stats

A nice win for Cruz Azul last time playing, versus Santos Laguna. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-2 with Lotti, Huescas and Antuna scoring for the victors. Sweet to taste a league victory after three fixtures without. The home side have an in-form goalscorer in Antuna, having bagged a goal in three consecutive games. Huescas, defender, was given a rating of 8.41/10 in that game, top of the team. Huescas scored one goal, served one assist, hit one key pass and won 5 of 8 duels.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Guadalajara (1-2).The Cruz fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 15 goals in 9 league matches. Cruz Azul have conceded 12 in these home matches.
Atlas form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Atlas so far with only 2 points returning home. The records show 0-2-7 (win-draw-lose).
Atlas has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Atletico San Luis for a 0-0 draw. Goalkeeper Vargas got the top player rating of the team with 7.45/10. Vargas topped it up with a clean sheet.
Ahead of that match was the victory versus Necaxa at their stadium, the result 3-1.Many goals are not expected from the visiting Atlas as they have only managed to score 6 times from 9 away games in the league. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Atlas's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 17 goals from these trips. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
