Prediction
- Hernan Crespo has Atlas playing a flexible possession style from a 4-3-3 base, where they use the width of the field to circulate the ball and overload the flanks.
- Miguel Herrera has Atlante set up to be compact and direct, with their 4-2-3-1/4-4-1-1 shape designed to be deep and strong defensively and then look to counter quickly.
- With Atlas in a slightly better mood than Atlante right now, the home team look the likelier winners in this matchup, but the visitors are a tough and well-organized side that will give the Rojinegros a run for their money.
