Betting on Club Deportivo Guadalajara
Chivas won four matches in a row in the closing stage of the Clausura 2023 regular season, making it the favorite team in the quarterfinals. Despite having 63% of the ball possession during the first match, the team struggled to finish and even missed a penalty kick at the 29th minute, when Victor Guzmán failed to score.
Now, the team has to turn things around in this upcoming home game. Fortunately, it won its last three matches in Estadio Akron, where it achieved five victories in eight games and ranked fifth as the best home team in the competition.
Probable lineup (4-1-4-1): Miguel Jiménez; Alan Mozo, Jesús Orozco, Gilberto Sepúlveda, Cristian Calderón; Fernando González; Carlos Cisneros, Fernando Beltrán, Pavel Pérez, Víctor Guzmán; Alexis Vega.
Betting on Atlas
Atlas faces a tough challenge in the second leg knowing that even though it has a 1-0 advantage on the overall score, the series is far from decided. Goalkeeper Camilo Vargas was one Thursday’s night heroes, saving a penalty kick and contributing to the offensive play that sealed the final result.
The red and black squad secured its spot in the quarterfinals by defeating Cruz Azul 1-0 in the Repechaje. That celebration served as a boost of morale, especially since it was an away game. Here, once again, they must face the challenge on foreign soil, where it has not lost in four matches.
This team has strung together two games without conceding a goal. It has not played the best away in the competition, but it has only lost one out of eight away games in the regular phase, recording two wins and five draws.
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.
JefeBet Prediction
Right now, the home team is under pressure because it is expected to impose its conditions on its own field as the favorite. Chivas has failed to defeat Atlas at the Estadio Akron in their last three encounters. In the two most recent matches at this venue, both teams have scored goals, and although the Over (2.5) may not be covered, it is likely that both teams will score.
For this game, JefeBet predicts a draw, which would give Atlas a ticket to the semifinals. If you agree with us and want to choose the draw line on DraftKings, remember that betting $100 will earn you $235 in winnings. So, what are you waiting for?
Prediction: Draw (CHI 1-1 ATL)
