Atlas

DLDLDL ⚠

Atlas will be hoping to bounce back here after a 1-2 Liga MX (Clausura) losing effort in their last game against Monterrey.

In that game, Atlas managed 48% possession and 21 attempts on goal with 6 on target. The only player to score for Atlas was Aldo Rocha (81'). Monterrey had 7 shots at goal with 3 on target. Maximiliano Meza (44') and Jesús Gallardo (57') scored for Monterrey.

It has been a rare occasion in recent games where Atlas have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. In fact, Atlas have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 games, giving up 11 goals on the way.

Their prior results show that Atlas:

• have not lost a league tie with Querétaro FC in their previous 5 games.
• have not won at home in their last 4 matches in the league. Fans are getting restless.

Querétaro FC

DWWLWW

Querétaro FC will go into the game after a 1-0 Liga MX (Clausura) win against FC Juárez in their most recent fixture.

In that game, Querétaro FC had 31% possession and 12 shots on goal with 4 on target. The scorer for Querétaro FC was Federico Lértora (31'). FC Juárez got 17 attempts at goal with 5 of them on target.

A sequence of resolute performances by the Querétaro FC defence has resulted in their ‘goals against’ tally standing at 4 from their past 6 fixtures overall. In that time, their forwards have scored 10. That sort of trend isn’t assured to be continued into this next game, though.

Analysis of their past results shows that Querétaro FC:

• haven't beaten Atlas when they've played them away from home in the last 7 league matches. Not good at all.
• are unbeaten in their previous 4 league matches away from home.

There aren’t many selection issues, with just one fitness concern for the Atlas gaffer Beñat San José to be concerned about from an otherwise complete set of players. Mauro Manotas (Cruciate ligament injury) misses out.

Thanks to a largely available squad, there is just the one fitness problem for the Querétaro FC gaffer Mauro Gerk to contend with. Jonathan Perlaza (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be playing here.

💭 Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that Atlas will probably be able to create a good number of chances & successful shots on target.

However, Querétaro FC will be up against it to score but do we see them being dangerous at times.

Accordingly, we see a pretty comfortable 3-1 margin for Atlas at the conclusion of the game.
