The emotions of the Liga MX in its Clausura 2024 Tournament are at a fever pitch, as the fight for the top of the table is getting better and better.
Currently, we have Cruz Azul and Pachuca, two unexpected teams for many, battling for first place in the standings. Then, fan favorites Monterrey, América, and Tigres seem to have lost some of their rhythm after a great start to the tournament.
However, this matchday 8, when we are very close to reaching the halfway point of the season, brings us intense and extremely important matches. We can also say that the difference between Pumas (3rd) and Necaxa (7th) is only 3 points, which shows us that there could be a lot of movement in the upper-middle zone of the table after the end of this weekend.
Now, one of the matches we will enjoy will be between Tigres UANL and Atlas.

Why Bet on Tigres?
Tigres started this tournament on the right foot, scoring points and victories left and right. However, some offensive problems have affected the team’s performance in recent weeks, which has led to two wins, two draws, and one defeat in the last five matches they have played.
As a result, the Felines are in sixth place in the standings, with a record of four wins, two draws, and one defeat, with 11 goals scored and 6 conceded. After the great start to the tournament, their offense has completely shut down, and they are now 5 points behind Cruz Azul at the top. However, it is fair to mention that they have a game in hand, so a victory in this match could move them up to third place.
The Regiomontanos are coming off a narrow 1-0 defeat against Cruz Azul.
Why Bet on Atlas?
On the other hand, we have Atlas, a team that can’t display the level of play that made them champions in 2021.
In this Clausura MX 2024, Atlas has started with a very slow pace of play, which keeps them in 10th place in the standings and a record of two wins, two draws, and four defeats. Los Rojinegros have won only one of their last five games, and if they lose on matchday 8, they could drop up to 4 places in the standings.
Atlas has an outstanding debt due to the fragile defense they have, as they have conceded ten goals in seven games. However, we can’t cover the sun with a finger talking about their offense either, with nine goals.
The Zorros come into this matchday after losing their previous game at home against León 0-1.
Final Betting Analysis:Â Tigres vs. Atlas
In the 20 previous matches between these two teams, Tigres dominates the series with nine wins. Atlas, for their part, have accumulated four victories, while seven matches have ended in draws. Notwithstanding, the Rojinegros defeated the felines the last time they met with a solid 2-0 score.
At Gambyl Exchange, there is a Moneyline that favors Tigres at 1.61, while Atlas starts at 5.39.
This is the perfect chance for the locals to recover, considering that their rivals have lost their way completely in the last weeks and don’t offer a threat of attack or defense. We believe they’ll impose a 2-0.
Look for a win in Tigres’ Moneyline. If you put $100 on them at 1.61, you’ll see a $61.00 win with a total payout of $161.00.
