Atlas

LLLWWD

Atlas enter this game following a 0-0 Liga MX (Clausura) drawn game against Santos Laguna.

It’s been all too rare in recent times where Atlas have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. It will be a concern for them that Atlas have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 matches, leaking 10 goals along the way. Regardless, it remains to be seen whether the trend will be sustained in this game.

Going into this encounter, Atlas are unbeaten in their previous 2 home league matches.
