Atlas Preview
Atlas delayed the start of the Clausura 2023, and it still has its matchday 1 game against Toluca pending. Yet, for now, the team remains undefeated, being one of the four teams that have yet to lose in the campaign. In its first game played, the team won 2-1 against Mazatlán, while in their most recent game, it played against Querétaro and the match finished in a 3-3 draw.
With that, Atlas reached four points, and it is in sixth place of the overall standings. So far, the red-and-black team has not offered any guarantees on defense, as it has allowed goals in each of its matches, and it has also not kept a clean sheet in league games since October.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Camilo Vargas; Luis Reyes, Hugo Nervo, Anderson Santamaría, José Abella; Jaziel Martínez, Jeremy Márquez, Edgar Zaldívar, Jonathan Herrera; Julián Quiñones, Julio Furch.
Santos Laguna Preview
Santos Laguna has already experienced both sides of the coin in this tournament. The team started with a painful 3-0 defeat against Tigres on matchday 1, but it is worth highlighting its ability to react, as it managed to win the following two matches.
The team defeated Pumas 3-0 and Mazatlan 1-2, and that was enough to move it to the top five in the overall standings. The team from the Comarca Lagunera will be back for the second away match in a row. Although it has won its first away game, the team has only won three of its last 10 away league matches.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Carlos Acevedo; Omar Campos, Hugo Rodríguez, Félix Torres, Raúl López; Juan Brunetta, Alan Cervantes, Aldo López, Jair González; Harold Preciado, Javier Correa.
JefeBet Prediction
Both teams have been playing good soccer and, so far, both promise to have the qualities to become protagonists in this campaign.
Atlas is having a good response to the arrival of Benjamín Mora to the bench, after the departure of Diego Cocca. Meanwhile, Santos Laguna has placed its trust in Eduardo Fentanes’ project, and it will be looking for a similar or a better performance to the one it had last season. So far, both teams are looking strong, and this match could result in a tie.
Prediction: The teams draw 2-2.
