Atlas go on their trip to Monterrey and Estadio BBVA Bancomer brimming with confidence, but the team playing at home is not a walk in the park. More information on the match here!
- Monterrey have the most matches under the total-line (16) in Liga MX
- Atlas have the the best goal difference (+8) away in Liga MX
Monterrey have less rest than Atlas in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Liga MX game only three days ago. That game was an away game at Pumas UNAM, so at least Monterrey are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Monterrey form and stats
Monterrey have played 8 Liga MX games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-2-2 (wins-draws-losses). Monterrey has won so many consecutive home games (four in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Estadio BBVA Bancomer. We remember; it was Atlético San Luis.
In their previous game, the manager Rojas led his Monterrey to a defeat away at Pumas UNAM. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio BBVA Bancomer. Moreno was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.65 out of 10. The defender Moreno won 5 of 5 duels.
In the game before, an away victory match versus Guadalajara with a 3-1 scoreline.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 Monterrey have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won three times, drawn two and lost two.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Monterrey as they are travelling to their away game against Pachuca in the Liga MX. That match is three days after this one.
The Monterrey fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 8 matches. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. From these home matches, Monterrey have conceded only 4 goals.
Atlas form and stats
4-3-1 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Atlas, who have the the best goal difference (+8) away in Liga MX, in their Liga MX matches away.
Atlas have a lot to remedy after their surprise loss (1-2) to Mazatlán in their previous outing, played in front of their own supporters. Midfielder Reyes was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.25. Reyes hit four key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Necaxa.Atlas are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, three draws and six defeats. From a total of eleven matches.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Atlas manager Pera as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Toluca.
Atlas has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 13 goals from 8 games. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (5 so far).
