Hold on to your hats, soccer fanatics, we've got a real barn burner on our hands with this one between CD Guadalajara and Atlas. CD Guadalajara, the team with the recent knack for outplaying Atlas when it really counts, has been showing decent form, netting 9 goals in their last five outings. They're coming off a draw with Monterrey, but will carry with them the momentum from their 5 goal demolition of Juárez FC.
Atlas, on the other hand, has been a little shaky, to say the least. They've shipped 10 goals in their last four games, indicating the kind of defensive leaks that could easily sink the Titanic, let alone a soccer team. They must have left their scoring boots at home too, as they've only found the net three times in the same period.
The league positions don’t tell the whole story. Both teams have registered an equal number of wins, but CD Guadalajara with their stronger goal difference sure look like a safer bet. In the battle of the historically significant cities, it's Guadalajara's namesakes who have been coming out on top in the recent past. Out of the last five showdowns, it’s clear that Atlas has had a tough time decoding Guadalajara's victories.
All things considered, I'd say it's probably safe to sit on the 'Goats' in this matchup, unless of course, Atlas learns to defend overnight.
