On Wednesday, Club Atlas host Club Necaxa in the Mexican Primera Division, as the home side looks to move off the bottom of the table.
Atlas have endured a nightmare start to their Mexican top-flight campaign, losing five of their first six leagues games and picking up just three points in the process. Last time out in the league, the home side suffered a 3-1 defeat at Lobos BUAP.
Atlas’ games in Liga MX have at least given the fans entertainment value, as seven of their last eight games dating back to last season have produced over 2.5 goals, including five of their six league games this season.
The home side have struggled at both ends of the field this season, as they have the second-worst defence in the league, while they have scored just six goals in the league.
A 2-1 home win over Cruz Azul in their last home game ended a five-game winless run on home soil in the league for Atlas.
Necaxa have enjoyed a mixed start to their league campaign so far. Their mixed start means that the visitors currently occupy tenth place in the Liga MX standings.
However, the visitors at least head into this game on the back of a three-game unbeaten run in the Mexican top-flight. During that unbeaten run, they have recorded two wins and a draw, while keeping clean sheets in all three of those unbeaten games in the league.
Necaxa have a mixed recent away record in the Primera Division, as they have won three and lost two of their last five games on their travels in the top-flight. Their recent away games in the Mexican top-flight have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five outings.
Forebet predicts that Atlas’ recent poor form will continue, with the visitors recording a victory in a high scoring clash.
