Match begins: 02:00 (UTC)
Venue: Estadio Olímpico Benito Juárez (21000 seats)

A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Juárez fans are optimistic that the difference between 6th and Atlas's 17th place in the table will show on the pitch.

Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

These teams have little in common geographically as Atlas have to travel 1500 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Juárez form and stats

2-1-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Liga MX numbers at home for Juárez, who have the most conceded goals (11) at home in Liga MX, so far this season. Juárez are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Estadio Olímpico Benito Juárez, having lost their two previous games here.

The fans are hoping that Juárez will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the Copa MX game against Monterrey (after extra-time, 6-5 on penalties) (placed 18th). Before that game, the home loss against Leon with the scoreline 1-4.

Goals decide football matches and Juárez are scoring many of them at home; 11 on target from 5 league matches. Juárez have conceded 11 goals in these home games, a significant number.

Atlas form and stats

As the visiting team in Liga MX matches, Atlas have produced an overall stat of 1-0-3 so far. With the Atlas losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Atlas are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

Atlas might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Guadalajara proved too strong as Atlas slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Estadio Jalisco. Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Santos Laguna's place.

The visitors have scored 3 goals from 4 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Atlas have conceded 6 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
