Atlas F.C. Preview

Gonzalo Pineda’s seat might get a little hotter with what has developed since mid-July. During this year’s Leagues Cup, Los Rojinegros took a licking, losing each of their tournament matches, conceding nine goals in the process. Atlas F.C. will be doing some serious soul searching after Wednesday’s trampling, losing 4-1 against Atlanta United. 

In spite of his team’s massive setback on Wednesday, Diego Gonzalez was the lone bright spot on the pitch. Returning from suspension, the attacking winger broke Atlanta’s clean sheet bid with his tally in the 83rd minute. The on-loan product from Lazio of Serie A currently leads Atlas in goal contributions with a total of three in the Apertura.

C.F. Pachuca Preview

So far, Jaime Lozano has seen his men prosper after a disastrous FIFA Club World Cup showing. In the Mexican top-flight, the Gophers have already upended some of the giants in the league, beating C.F. Monterrey and Pumas UNAM. Pachuca was a rigid defensive unit early on, only averaging 0.7 goals per game after three matches, tied with Mazatlan for the top average. 

In his opening two Apertura matches this season, Jhonder Cadiz was the star of the show, obtaining a pair of tallies and an assist. Since then, he has been absent from the scorers’ sheet, and things got worse for him as he was suspended for Tuesday’s match against Houston when he picked up a red card against LAFC a week ago. With a clean slate, the Venezuelan international with 18 caps under his belt, will look to start a new positive trend with his new outfit.

Atlas F.C. vs. C.F. Pachuca - My Pick

• Atlas F.C. vs. C.F. Pachuca pick: C.F. Pachuca moneyline 3-way (+105) at bet365

Despite C.F.Pachuca playing this skirmish away from home, we feel there is a reasonable chance they can acquire all three points on Saturday. Reverting to the previous campaign, Atlas have not kept a clean sheet in 18 consecutive matches. The visitors seem to be on a good scoring run, hitting the back of the net in 10 instances over their last five games.

The Gophers have been competitive over the years, travelling to Estadio Jalisco. The previous 17 Junctures have seen Pachuca secure six wins while finishing even in five contests. It’s a solid opportunity to buy high on a first place club before the dazzle potentially wears out as the campaign progresses.
