Atlas ended a negative streak in the last game. Now they’ll try to shake off that bad moment and arrive at this game with enthusiasm.

Where Can I Watch it?
Why Bet on Atlas?
Atlas achieved a great victory in the last game after beating Puebla 0-4 as a visitor with a double by Brian Lozano, who together with Julián Quiñones is the team’s top scorer, each with 5. In addition, a few days before they had also beaten 4-0 Olimpia of Honduras and advanced to the quarterfinals of the Concachampions.
Benjamín Mora’s team had only won in their first game, against Mazatlán (2-1), and then they had drawn 6 games and lost 4. With 12 points, they are in 12th place, the last one to qualify for the playoffs. 16 goals for and 16 against, in addition to an average of 1 point per game, are bad numbers for a team that was the best in the country less than a year ago.
After being a two-time champion, the Foxes have had a very poor performance at home, winning only 4 of 15 games.
Why Bet on Chivas?
Chivas was having a great tournament with an undefeated record of 7 games and 4 wins in a row, but in recent weeks they had setbacks after losing to Puebla (1-0) and at home to América (2-4) in the Clásico Nacional, without a doubt a very hard blow for the fans of the Rebaño.
Guadalajara now dropped to seventh place with 21 points, but there is only a 3-point difference between second and seventh place, while eighth is already 5 points away.
Veljko Paunovic’s team will have a huge loss for this game after the red card received by Víctor Guzmán in the game against América. The midfielder is the team’s captain and top scorer with 5 goals and 2 assists, as well as being highly effective on penalties with 3 kicks and 3 scored. The Cone Brizuela could return and be his replacement.
Final Betting Analysis: Atlas vs. Chivas
In derbies, it doesn’t matter how each team arrives, these are separate matches, with many fouls and with the players always giving a bonus to win. Atlas has not shown to be at a good level this tournament, contrary to Chivas, which despite the two setbacks, is at the top of the table. Guzmán’s absence will be noticeable, but we believe that they will be able to replace it in the best way and they will be left with the victory.
At MyBookie.ag we find that Atlas is the favorite of the match with a Moneyline of +152, while Chivas has +192 and the draw is +222.
The last time these two teams met was on August 13 last year and they ended 1-1 with goals from Carlos Cisneros (C) and Julián Quiñones (A), plus each team received a red card. The last time they played at the Jalisco stadium it was also a draw, and Atlas has 5 unbeaten games with 2 wins. In 4 of the last 5 games 8 red cards have been seen.
The history is in favor of Chivas, who have won 92 times and scored 376 goals, while Atlas won 71 and scored 328. In 70 games they were tied.
Go for a straight win for Chivas in the Moneyline. If you bet $100 on the win at +192, you will gain $192 for a total payout of $292.
