Betting on Atlas
Atlas‘ recent performance bears no resemblance to the one it showed during the second half of 2021 and the first half of 2022, a period in which it achieved the bicampeonato. While the Apertura 2022 was bad, it was optimistically hoped that the team was just going through a bad streak. Then, the Clausura 2023 began and the team attained a 2-1 victory over Mazatlán, so it seemed like the situation would improve. Still, that was not the case, and after seven matches played, this is the only victory the team has registered.
This Wednesday, the team will play a pending game against Cruz Azul, in which it will have the opportunity to end its current negative streak. Atlas has not won in its last six matches played, recording four draws and two defeats, but more alarming is that the red-and-black team has not scored a goal in the last two matches either.
Probable lineup (3-4-1-2): Camilo Vargas; Gaddi Aguirre, Hugo Nervo, Jeremy Márquez; José Abella, Brian Lozano, Aldo Rocha, Luis Reyes; Jaziel Martínez; Julián Quiñones, Julio Furch
Betting on America
Club América did not have the best start to the tournament, but that is now behind it as it is currently one of the best teams, and one of the two teams that remain undefeated. In eight matches played, this team has attained four wins and it has reached four draws. Indeed, it comes into this game with a three-match winning streak in its record.
The capital team has the best offense in the tournament, which has scored 19 goals, averaging 2.37 goals per game. The Águilas team was held scoreless in only one match, and since then, the next seven matches it has played have ended with more than 2.5 total goals. This weekend the team will play its fourth away match, and although it has not lost so far, it records only one win while playing in this condition.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Óscar Jiménez; Miguel Layún, Néstor Araujo, Israel Reyes, Salvador Reyes; Alvaro Fidalgo, Richard Sánchez; Jonathan Rodríguez, Diego Valdés, Leonardo Suárez; Henry Martín
JefeBet Prediction
Atlas could be considered to be the favorite, simply because it will be playing at home. Still, considering that the team has failed to win in its last four home matches in this Clausura 2023, and that it has gone 282 minutes without scoring goals on its home field, there is not much to be confident about.
The visiting team is expected to come away with all three points, although there could be goals scored from both sides.
Prediction: Club América wins by a score of 1-2.
