Only a win will satisfy the Tigres UANL supporters in this Estadio Universitario de Nuevo León clash with Atlas, having a healthy lead on the opposition in the Liga MX table.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
These teams have little in common geographically as Atlas have to travel 800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Tigres UANL form and stats
The story so far in the Liga MX for Tigres UANL at their home stadium (Estadio Universitario de Nuevo León) is 4 wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat.
Tigres faced defeat in their previous match, away at América (1-3). In the match before that, Tigres hosted Juárez and drew the game 1-1.
A decent goal production from Tigres UANL in their home games so far, with 14 goals from 8 league matches. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. From these home matches, Tigres have conceded only 7 goals.
Atlas form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Atlas so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-4 (win-draw-lose). It's looking increasingly bleak for Atlas who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Juárez was the last time a defeat was avoided. Atlas has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
Atlas have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 180 minutes ago. V. Malcorra was the goal scorer.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Liga MX home defeat versus Puebla with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Prior to that match, the Atlas manager D. Cocca Pera faced defeat when travelling to América and losing 0-1.
The visitors have scored 7 goals from 8 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. 11 goals have been conceded by Atlas in these games.
