Betting on Atlas
The last defeat that Atlas suffered was the elimination from the CONCACAF Champions League against Philadelphia Union. However, they were able to turn the page and since then things have been going well for the local team. The red-and-black team heads into this match with six matches without a loss, and in the regular phase of the Clausura 2023, they have a record of four wins, nine draws and four defeats.
Having defeated Cruz Azul by a score of 0-1 in the playoffs should be good for their confidence, especially since they have now won two consecutive matches without conceding goals, including the draw against Atlético San Luis that ended 0-0.
In addition, Atlas opens the quarterfinal series at home, where it has not lost in the last four meetings, with two wins and two draws in all competitions. Nevertheless, it is worth noting that they were not very effective at home in the regular season, winning only two of their nine home games.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Camilo Vargas; Diego Barbosa, Hugo Nervo, Gaddi Aguirre, Luis Reyes; Jonathan Herrera, Jeremy Márquez, Aldo Rocha, Brian Lozano; Julio Furch, Julián Quiñones.
Betting on Chivas
Chivas had a week off after securing a direct spot in this round, but don’t expect that to be a negative factor for a team that closed out the regular season with five unbeaten games, including four consecutive wins. Their last game was against Mazatlán, and it was a resounding 4-1 victory. In fact, in their last three matches, El rebaño sagrado has scored two goals or more.
The red-and-white squad was the third-best home team of the season with five wins, three draws, and only one defeat. They haven’t lost at Estadio Jalisco since April 2018 and have since gone six games unbeaten when visiting Atlas.
Probable lineup (4-1-4-1): Miguel Jimenez; Alan Mozo, Jesus Orozco, Gilberto Sepulveda, Cristian Calderon; Fernando Gonzalez; Carlos Cisneros, Fernando Beltran, Pavel Perez, Victor Guzman; Alexis Vega
JefeBet Prediction
The Clásico Tapatío is considered the oldest rivalry in Mexican soccer and is usually an intense match. The last three meetings between these clubs at the home of Atlas have ended in a draw.
Being the first of the two games in this series, we expect an open game where both score and the most likely result will be a draw. If you bet $100 on the tie line (+245) in this match, you will get $245 as a win at Codere MX. So, keep on reading to find out more. What are you waiting for?
