Betting on Atlas (+110 at Caliente)
After reaching the quarterfinals of the Clausura 2023 Playoffs, Atlas has made some impressive signings, including Rivaldo Lozano from Santos Laguna, Mateo García from Aris Thessaloniki, and Eduardo Aguirre, also from Santos Laguna.
They’ll need to step up their game compared to last season, where they finished in a disappointing ninth position with only 22 points. Playing at home, La Academia managed to win just two out of their nine matches, with a goal difference of 13 scored and 13 conceded.
The Zorros were the draw specialists of the tournament, with a total of nine draws, four of them at their own stadium. But it’s in front of their home crowd where the offense really shines, as the stats show that in four out of their five most recent matches at the Estadio Jalisco, the net was rattled at least four times.
If you want to take advantage of this information, Caliente has an enticing line of (+260) for the Over (3.5) option, which means you could potentially win up to $260 for every $100 you bet.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Camilo Vargas; Hugo Nervo, Anderson Santamaría, Luis Reyes, José Abella; Aldo Rocha, Ángel Márquez, Brian Lozano, Jaziel Martínez; Julián Quiñones, Julio Furch.

Betting on Cruz Azul ( +250 at Caliente)
Carlos Salcedo (Juárez), Moisés Vieira (Fortaleza), Diber Cambindo (Independiente Medellín), Kevin Castaño (Águilas Doradas), and Willer Ditta (Newell’s Old Boys) are just a few of the exciting new signings to La Maquina for the Apertura 2023.
Under the guidance of Tuca Ferretti, Cruz Azul is out to seek revenge after being knocked out of the previous domestic tournament by the same opponents. And what better way to do it than on their turf? However, their away form hasn’t been stellar, with only two out of their seven victories in the Clausura coming on the road, and they conceded 13 out of their 22 goals against.
But one thing is for sure, the excitement never stops. Four out of the six most recent away matches of Cruz Azul have seen more than three goals, and both teams have always got on the scoresheet.
Probable lineup (5-4-1): Sebastián Jurado; Juan Escobar, Rodrigo Huescas, Javier Suárez, Carlos Salcedo, Alonso Escoboza; Kevin Castaño, Erik Lira, Carlos Rotondi, Christian Tabó; Augusto Lotti.
El Jefe’s Prediction on Atlas vs Cruz Azul
The statistics are giving a little wink to Atlas, who hasn’t been defeated by this opponent at home since August 16, 2019, with two wins and two draws. That’s why we’re predicting at JefeBet that Atlas will continue their winning streak.
