Atlas

DLLDDL 📉

Atlas will be hoping to bounce back here after the 2-0 Liga MX (Apertura) defeat in their last game at the hands of Tigres de la UANL.

In that match, Atlas had 40% possession and 7 attempts on goal with 2 on target. Tigres UANL had 16 shots at goal with 7 of them on target. Ozziel Herrera (5') and Diego Lainez (63') scored for Tigres de la UANL.

It’s not been often in recent games that Atlas have shown defensive steel. The reality is that Atlas have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 6 of their previous 6 games, shipping 14 goals during that time.

Their prior results show that Atlas:

• are winless against Necaxa in their previous 4 league matches.
• have not won at home in their last 8 matches in the league. It's been disappointing.

Necaxa

LLLDWL

Since a losing effort in their last game against CD Guadalajara in Liga MX (Apertura) competition, Necaxa and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

In that match, Necaxa managed 54% possession and 23 shots at goal with 5 on target. The scorer for Necaxa was Cristian Calderón (49'). On the other side, Guadalajara got 10 attempts at goal with 5 of them on target. Armando González (33'), Santiago Sandoval (44') and Cristian Inda (94') scored for CD Guadalajara.

The forward players for Necaxa have struggled for goals over their last six clashes, contributing the disappointing return of just 3. In those matches, Lightning Bolts have also seen the collective goal aggregate of their opponents equal 11. Despite that, time will tell whether the trend will be maintained here in this match.

A look at their previous results shows us that Necaxa:

• remain unbeaten by Atlas in games played away from home for the previous 2 league games.
• haven’t won away from home in the past 5 league games.

🤜🤛 Head to head

If we look at their past head to head meetings dating back to 02/10/2022, there is nothing to separate the two clubs with Atlas winning 2 of those games, Necaxa 2 and 2 being draws in normal time.

An aggregate of 12 goals were scored between the two sides in this period, with 5 for Los Zorros and 7 created by Lightning Bolts. That is an average goals per game value of 2.

The last league encounter featuring the two was Liga MX (Clausura) match day 9 on 19/02/2025 which ended up with the score at Atlas 0-4 Necaxa.

That time, Atlas managed 50% possession and 9 shots on goal with 2 on target.

For their opponents, Necaxa got 13 attempts on goal with 9 of them on target. Diber Cambindo (23'), Agustín Palavecino (43'), Arturo Palma (70') and Tomás Badaloni (91') scored.

The referee was Víctor Cáceres.

📰 Team News: Atlas

It seems likely that Los Zorros will probably line up in a 5-4-1 system in the match, beginning the first half with Camilo Vargas, Gustavo Ferrareis, Gaddi Aguirre, M. Dória Macedo, Adrián Mora, Sergio Hernández, Diego González, Victor Rios, Paulo Ramírez, Gustavo Del Prete and Uros Djurdjevic.

ℹ️ Team News: Necaxa

We are inclined to think that Lightning Bolts will likely begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 formation, starting Luis Ezequiel Unsain, Kevin Rosero, Alexis Peña, Agustín Oliveros, Cristian Calderón, Diego De Buen, J. Ivan Rodríguez, Ricardo Monreal, Agustín Palavecino, Pavel Uriel Pérez and Diber Cambindo.

💡 Prediction

In our opinion, Necaxa and Atlas could well end up finding themselves trading goals here.

While there should be goals at both ends, it’s too close to call. That’s why our selection here is for a highly competitive game with a 2-2 score draw when the full-time whistle blows.
