Where Can I Watch it?
Why Bet on Necaxa?
Necaxa has been through way more downs than ups during this season, as they have mostly scored their points through draws.
They have scored 15 goals and conceded 18, so their 7 losses are not hard to believe.
They, however, will have their crowd cheering for them and it should help them a little bit, as they have had some tough runs with Atlas in the past.
Why Bet on Atlas?
Atlas comes in increasing the pace they have had in their season so far, with 2 wins, 2 draws, and a loss in their last 5.
That may not sound quite as impressive, but they went from 1 victory to 3 in their most recent run, which means that at least they are trying to finish the regular season going in strong.
Having scored 24 goals and conceded 21, they are doing decently at this point, which is necessary to lock in a playoff spot.
Final Betting Analysis: Necaxa vs. Atlas
This was a clear pick for us for a simple reason; in their last 4 clashes in the Liga MX, Atlas has taken the victory with little to no issues, and in this season they are doing far better than Necaxa.
Necaxa has only been beaten once at home in their last 7 home matches, but Atlas has only lost 1 in their last 8 as an away team, which makes this a lot more interesting, excluding the fact that being unbeaten includes all their draws.
We are taking this as a Win for Atlas, but we expect the match to be contested nonetheless.
If you put $100 into an Atlas’ win, you could get $163 for a total payout of $263.
