Betting on Cruz Azul
El Potro “Raúl Gutiérrez” left the team and Cruz Azul return to winning ways. They visit the difficult Cuauhtémoc stadium and played a good game, beating the hosts by a score of 1-3. Joaquín Moreno took over the team and achieved the first victory of the tournament, but his job is an interim one.
The board of directors is still looking for a new coach, but it seems that the decision will take a little longer and Moreno will remain in charge of the Machine. This brings confidence to the club and if he wins a second victory, whoever arrives will have a better-trained team.
Moreno succeeded in taking away Puebla’s paternity, as they had gone 8 consecutive matches without a win. It was clear that the players felt more comfortable with the new coach, who will only stay for one more game, according to what has been announced.
Possible Lineup (3-4-3): Sebastián Jurado, Julio César Domínguez, Juan Escobar, Ramiro Funes Mori, José Rivero, Erik Lara, Rafael Baca, Uriel Antuna, Carlos Rodríguez, Gonzalo Carneiro, Carlos Rotondi
Betting on Atlas
The red-and-black team can’t get back on track. Benjamín Mora has not been able to make his team work and was unable to get a positive result against Tigres at home. They lost 0-1 against weak opponents, but the Foxes do not generate chances, even with Camilo Vargas undergoing a great level.
He saved a penalty kick against Tigres and prevented his goal from falling on many occasions, but the performance of his teammates does not help. Atlas has conceded 11 goals this season, most of them due to defensive mistakes in marking, leaving the Colombian very unprotected.
They have now gone six games without a win and two consecutive defeats. The project of the multi-champion coach in Malaysia is starting to wobble, and they need to win urgently. What’s more, they must improve their defense, which is struggling to keep clean sheets in most games.
Possible Lineup (3-4-1-2): Camilo Vargas, Anderson Santamaria, Hugo Nervo, Gaddi Aguirre, José Abella, Brian Lozano, Aldo Rocha, Luis Reyes, Jaziel Martínez, Julio Furch, Julián Quiñones.
JefeBet Prediction
Cruz Azul comes into this match better positioned than its opponent, but they still have a lot of problems in defense. Still, they will pull out the win at the Azteca against an Atlas team that is getting worse every day.
Prediction: Cruz Azul 1-0 Atlas.
