Atlas F.C. vs. Cruz Azul Prediction: Los Celestes Look to Make It Six Straight Wins

Wednesday night Estadio Jalisco will be the site where Atlas F.C. welcomes the top side in the Apertura, Cruz Azul. Head-to-head these two sides have clashed 32 times across all competitions since September 2010. The tale of the tape has seen Cruz Azul with a slight advantage winning on 13 occasions versus Atlas’ 11 wins.

Beñat San Jose’s men were throttled 4-0 on the road against Monterey last weekend, suffering their heaviest defeat in Liga MX this campaign. Not only did Atlas suffer their fourth straight match without a win, but this side has also failed to find the back of the net in as many games. 

Meanwhile, Martin Anselmi’s crew continue their supreme form in Liga MX play, defeating Santos Laguna over the weekend. The victory saw Cruz Azul earn its seventh straight league victory having now captured a total of 13 wins in 15 Apertura contests.

Cruz Azul Preview

The versatile right wingback Jorge Sanchez had a top-level performance against Santos Laguna. The 26-year-old picked up his first goal of the campaign in 72 minutes of work. Sanchez almost had a perfect passing game on the pitch finishing with a 94 percent accuracy rate going 44-for-47. 

Streaking in blazing form to close out the regular season this week, Leading scorer Angel Sepulveda scored in his third straight match. The 33-year-old now has eight goals in the 2024 Apertura campaign to lead his side in the goals category. Amazingly the striker has registered most of his goals coming on as a substitute as he has only featured in the starting-11 in six junctures this season.

• Atlas F.C. vs. Cruz Azul: Cruz Azul moneyline 3-way (-120) at bet365

The visiting side has shown no issues facing most of their adversaries in the tournament and on Wednesday evening we feel it should be no different. The only risk that could harm Cruz Azul from capturing their 14th league win, is the squad rotation we could see from them since they wrapped up first place overall in the table. Cruz Azul are the class of Liga MX in this Apertura with their squad depth deeper than most teams and it could spell the return of Georgios Giakoumakis who had six league goals. Los Celestes should be able to knock down Atlas and look to continue its scorching form into the upcoming playoff phase.
