Betting on Atlas Futbol Club
After a boost in morale and gameplay, Atlas has fallen back a bit. In fact, it hasn’t won in three games since its spectacular comeback against Olimpia in Concachampions, and while it doesn’t play poorly, it seems anxious.
It drew in a thrilling game against Chivas 3-3, only to lose the first leg of the Concachampions quarterfinals against Philadelphia, which was a tough blow for the team. In the last matchday of the local tournament, it drew again, this time 1-1 against Juárez, who played the entire second half with 10 players.
In that match, it was ahead on the scoreboard and tried, but its aim was off, with only three of its 17 shots on target. It’s difficult to win with that kind of accuracy, even if you have an extra player. Benjamin Mora has already instilled confidence in the team’s game plan, now it just needs to fine-tune its aim.
Possible Lineup (5-3-2): Camilo Vargas; Diego Barbosa, Anderson Santamaria, Hugo Nervo, Gaddi Aguirre, Anibal Chalá; Jonathan Herrera, Aldo Rocha, Edison Flores; Julio Furch, Julián Quiñones.
Betting on Club de Futbol Pachuca
The champion hasn’t been consistent, but it has been climbing up the ranks and is now just one point away from Leon, who is fourth and directly qualifies for the next phase. The idea is to avoid fighting for the wild card, as the teams coming from below can surprise it with a better momentum.
It has lost important matches, such as the one against Cruz Azul at home. The team coached by Tuca beat it at home, and that shouldn’t have happened. In the last matchday, it visited Santos and got its revenge, as it beat the Peixe 4-1 at the TSM, a victory that helped it regain confidence.
The failure in the Concacaf Champions League can only be cured by defending the title, and now, with no more commitments, Almada’s team will focus entirely on the local competition, making it very dangerous.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Oscar Ustari; Kevin Álvarez, Gustavo Cabral, Enzo Martínez, Mauricio Isais; Erick Sánchez, Luis Chávez; Francisco Figueroa, Cristian Arango, Avilés Hurtado; Roberto de la Rosa.
JefeBet Prediction
Atlas will face a tough challenge this week as it will be missing Brian Lozano due to suspension. This will be a significant blow to its midfield. Despite this setback, Atlas is still playing well, but the absence of Lozano will have an impact.
On the other hand, Pachuca performs much better when playing away. Actually, it is the second-best away team in the league, with five victories and 14 goals scored. Therefore, at JefeBet, we believe that Pachuca will win again, facing an Atlas team that is trying hard but struggling to score.
