Where Can I Watch?
Why Bet on Chivas?
We had said that the worst thing that could happen to Chivas was to face Atlas and that was evidenced in the first leg. The Rebaño had many goal options, but could not overcome the resistance of Camilo Vargas, who even saved a penalty from captain Víctor Guzmán.
Those from Guadalajara will now play at home, with their fans, and also knowing that they have the sporting advantage, which means that if the series ends in a tie (if Chivas wins by 1 goal difference), they will advance to the semifinals by to have finished in a better position in the general table.
The Serbian Veljko Paunovic will have to work on the definition these days, since in the last game they had 15 shots, 7 of them on goal, and they could not score. They have won their last 3 home games, but they haven’t beaten the Zorros for 8 matches and they hope to break that streak this Sunday.
Why Bet on Atlas?
Just as we said about Chivas, we also said about Atlas: the best thing that could happen to them was to face the Rebaño. Although the visitors looked better at the beginning, they managed to recover thanks to their goalkeeper Camilo Vargas and a goal from Colombian Julián Quiñones, who is having a great tournament and is the team’s top scorer with 13 and is second in the table tournament behind Henry Martín (14).
The Zorros have 8 undefeated games in the Liga MX and on the road they have 6 undefeated games and only 1 loss in the entire tournament, also achieving 5 draws and 3 wins. These are very good numbers for a team that is leading by 1 goal and cannot let Chivas win, since a victory for Guadalajara by any score would eliminate them.
The Rojinegros are undefeated in 7 games against the Rojiblanco and have not lost in their last 3 visits to the Akron Stadium. In addition, Julián Quiñones, who has 12 goals in his last 11 games (counting Concachampions), has scored 4 goals against Chivas in the last 3 games and 5 in the 7 matches he has faced them.
The last time they met in a quarterfinal was in May of last year and Atlas advanced 3-2 on aggregate and ended up being champions.
Final Betting Analysis: Chivas vs. Atlas
Like all the Clásicos, especially when they are in the Liguilla, Chivas vs. Atlas will be a great game. The Rebaño will go out from the first minute to look for the goal that will give them the classification, while the Zorros will not be able to stay locked up because they know that at any moment the rival can score and eliminate them, so they will also go in search of that goal that gives them peace of mind. Very even and exciting like the first leg, we believe it will be a tie.
At MyBookie.ag we find that Chivas is the favorite of the match with a Moneyline of -102, while Atlas has +285 and the draw is +255.
The last time they met was last Thursday and Atlas won 1-0 with a goal from Julián Quiñones, while in the regular phase of the tournament, they had tied 3-3. The last time they played at Akron Stadium, it was also a tie, but 1-1.
Go for a draw in the Moneyline. If you bet $100 on the draw at +255, you will gain $255 for a total payout of $355.
