CF Atlas Guadalajara

vs

CD Chivas de Guadalajara

Preview

Atlas (home team)

• CF Atlas Guadalajara have won just one of their last five league games (D2, L2).
• The Zorros have averaged 1.00 goals per game scored and 1.60 conceded at home in Liga MX 2026/2027, which indicates that games played on their patch are rarely a one-sided affair.
• Hernan Crespo has made Atlas more vertical and quicker in a 4-2-3-1 system with a much higher press and more direct play on transition in comparison to Gabriel Milito's three-center-back, possession-first style with wing-backs and sharp press-after-loss.

Chivas (away team)

• Chivas de Guadalajara have an unbeaten away record in Liga MX 2026/2027 (W2, D3).
• The visitors are in third place on 18 points and Atlas are in sixth on 17 from 10 games so far.
• Chivas have had a much more consistent run of results with two wins, two draws and one defeat from their last five.
• That includes a 3-0 home win over Pumas, a 2-2 away draw to Club América and a 0-2 defeat at home to Querétaro.

Head-to-Head

• The last five head-to-head meetings between the sides in all competitions are tied (W2, D1, L2).
• The hosts have failed to win either of the last two home head-to-head matchups, losing 2-1 to Chivas last April in Liga MX 2025/2026.
• The bragging rights for this weekend's Clásico Tapatío could go either way.

Key Players

• Atlas have scored seven goals in their last five games.
• Luis Esteves has four goals in ten Liga MX 2026/2027 matches and three in the last five.
• Chivas have scored eight goals in five away games.

Betting Insights

• The odds of 2.18 for Chivas to win look very good when compared with Atlas at 3.1 and the draw at 3.45.
• Both teams to score at 1.55 and over 2.5 goals at 1.7 look good in this derby match where there should be chances at both ends.
