With their 5 point advantage in the league table, Santos Laguna fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Atlas.
Santos Laguna and Atlas should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Santos Laguna form and stats
Santos Laguna have collected seven points from their first three Liga MX games here at Estadio Nuevo Corona, a promising start.
It's back home for Santos Laguna, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Juárez away with the result 2-1. Eduardo Aguirre and Brian Lozano found the net in that victory. Heartbreak before that as Santos Laguna lost 0-1 at Monterrey's place.
Hugo Rodriguez was on the receiving end of a red card in the Santos Laguna-Juárez match, being sent off in the 90th minute.

A late climax in the match against Juárez as the winning goal came nine minutes into overtime; scored by Brian Lozano.

Atlas form and stats
Things could have gone better for Atlas in their Liga MX away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right. Recent form does not give Atlas much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Santos Laguna will be a tough nut to crack. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Atlas have lost on their last two travels.
Atlas are looking to quickly end their 222 minutes long goal drought in the Liga MX.
Atlas failed to get anything from their last game, a Liga MX home match vs Pachuca (placed 10th) that ended with defeat 0-2. Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting América's place.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Atlas have scored 3 goals in 3 league games away. In the opposite end, Atlas have conceded 5 goals in their away games.
