⭐ Editor's Pick
The match looks set to be shaped by goals at both ends. Cruz Azul have shown a shaky defence, conceding in eight of their last nine matches. The pattern of both teams scoring is reinforced by Cruz Azul's numbers at both ends of the pitch: eight of their last nine matches have ended with both sides on the scoresheet. Atlas are no more reliable defensively, while their attack consistently creates chances even against stronger opposition. The motivation to stay among the league's top sides pushes both teams towards an attacking approach. We're predicting a 1-1 draw. Our main pick is Both Teams to Score - Yes.
