Betting on C. F. Cruz Azul
Cruz Azul achieved a golden victory against Santos Laguna with a 3-2 score on the final day of the regular stage, finishing with a record of seven wins, three draws, and seven losses. This win put an end to a negative streak of three games without a win, and secured the team’s spot in the playoffs, where it will be playing as the home team.
It’s great to know that Cruz Azul won five out of the eight matches played at the Estadio Azteca during the Clausura 2023, and four out of those five wins were in the last five games. Moreover, the team managed to score in seven out of those eight matches, which could indicate that we can expect Cruz Azul to score at least one goal in this match.
Possible Lineup (5-4-1): Jesús Corona; Rodrigo Huescas, Juan Escobar, Ramiro Funes Mori, Julio Cesar Domínguez, Ignacio Rivero; Uriel Antuna, Carlos Rodríguez, Erik Lira, Carlos Rotondi; Augusto Lotti.
Betting on Atlas Futbol Club
Atlas reacted promptly after being eliminated from the CONCACAF Champions League, and shifted its focus back to the Liga MX. The team ended the regular season strongly, going six games unbeaten, with three wins and three draws during that period. Actually, in the final game, Atlas drew 0-0 against San Luis, securing its spot in the Playoffs.
The team will have to play this stage on enemy grounds, but it’s not something that worries Atlas too much. This is so because the Black and red team only lost one of the eight games played as visitors, and currently has a five-game unbeaten streak away.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Camilo Vargas; Diego Barbosa, Hugo Nervo, Gaddi Aguirre, Luis Reyes; Jonathan Herrera, Jeremy Márquez, Aldo Rocha, Brian Lozano; Mauro Manotas, Julián Quiñones.
JefeBet Prediction
Cruz Azul proved that it is a team that strengthens when playing at home, but Atlas has also faced its rival well when playing away. Atlas, on the other hand, has an important mission as it has lost the last three away matches against Cruz Azul at the Azteca Stadium.
However, it has been consistently achieving good results and knowing what is at stake, Atlas will surely perform at its best level. Therefore, at JefeBet, we believe that both teams will score, although the victory will be for the away team in the upcoming Cruz Azul vs Atlas encounter.
Prediction: Atlas Moneyline and Both teams score (CAZ 1-2 ATL).
