Atlas Preview
They beat Mazatlán in Matchday 2 (but the Cañoneros are not a tough contender) and tied Querétaro (3-3) and Santos (2-2). As they have not been able to get off to the best start, Benjamín Mora is still looking for balance in a defense that is allowing too many goals.
In all games they have allowed goals, and have an average of 2.0 goals conceded and have already registered two penalties. In the low zone they are quite nervous, but the good thing is that they compensate in the attack because they score a lot.
The performance level of Julián Quiñones should be highlighted. Against Santos, he scored a goal and was one of those who tried the most: 85% of his shots were correct and what is even better, almost all of them were forward. Together with Jonathan Herrera, they have become a threat to opposing fullbacks.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Camilo Vargas; José Abella, Anderson Santamaría, Hugo Nervo, Luis Reyes; Jeremy Márquez, Aldo Rocha, Jaziel Martínez; Jonathan Herrera, Julio Furch, Julián Quiñones.
Toluca Preview
They are identical to Atlas, but without as many goals. Nacho Ambriz’s team is regular, it is like warm water, neither hot nor cold. Marcel Ruiz is one of the best of the Chorizo Power, as he has already scored a goal, but his contribution is more in game construction.
He registers nearly 90% effectiveness in the deliveries he makes, but it is not enough, and the clear example is the match against León last matchday. Against 10 men, they were unable to break the Fiera‘s lock and drew 0-0.
They control the ball and sometimes the opponent, but they can’t capitalize. Sometimes, it seems that they don’t want to take risks when they have to win against the team in front of them. If they were a little braver, they could win more games than they draw.
Possible lineup (4-4-2): Tiago Volpi; Carlos Orrantía, Andrés Mosquera, Valber Huerta, Brayan Angulo; Jean Meneses, Claudio Baeza, Marcel Ruíz, Maximiliano Araujo; Carlos Gonzalez, Fernando Navarro.
JefeBet Prediction
These games always have a lot of goals. Zorros and Diablos always put on a good show, and we think the game will be a good one, but with the draws that both register, we think they will end up sharing the points.
Atlas attacks well and Toluca defends better, so they will neutralize each other. Besides, Toluca does not risk too much. This will be the perfect combination for a fabulous tie.
Prediction: Atlas 1-1 Toluca.
