This should be an exciting game as Guadalajara have their supposed home advantage, while Atlas are ahead 5 points in the Liga MX table.

Insights:
  • Guadalajara have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Atlas have the fewest conceded goals (5) in Liga MX

It's no vacation for neither Guadalajara nor Atlas as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Atlas have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 0-1-5 (win-draw-loss) from six matches.

Guadalajara form and stats

2-1-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Liga MX numbers at home for Guadalajara so far this season. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Guadalajara after consecutive victories at their own ground.

Guadalajara haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 180 minutes ago. J. Angulo scored that one.

In their previous game, the manager M. Leaño led his Guadalajara to a defeat in the Liga MX match away at Querétaro. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio AKRON. The talented striker Alexis Vega outshone all the other players in that match and managed a match rating of 7.42 out of 10. Vega hit four key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Before that, Guadalajara played out a draw 0-0 when visiting America.

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

Guadalajara has scored 6 league goals at home this season, in 5 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Guadalajara defense is not exactly impregnable. 8 goals conceded from 5 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Atlas form and stats

The visitors, who have the fewest conceded goals (5) in Liga MX, are W2-D3-L0 on the road this term. That's in the Liga MX.

The manager D. Cocca Pera was unhappy after their last game, a Liga MX match played at their home ground Estadio Jalisco. Atlas suffered a 0-1 loss to Puebla (placed 13th). Midfielder Jonathan Herrera was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.24. Herrera hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.

Before that, Atlas secured a home win against León with the score 2-0.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eight similar matches played by Atlas in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Atlas, four draws and one defeat.

Atlas find the net regularly in their away games. 6 goals from 5 away fixtures in the league. The Atlas defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (2 goals in 5 games).

Head 2 Head

Last ten meetings with these participants: Guadalajara won eight, Atlas were winners in two and we saw zero draws. four games with more than 2,5 goals, six matches with less than 2,5 goals.
