Cruz Azul seems to be putting those frustrating years behind them, years when titles eluded them. They come off a championship win in the last Clausura tournament against Pumas. They've come out firing on all cylinders, winning their first two matches of the Apertura tournament. As the icing on the cake, they deflated Toluca and claimed the Campeón de Campeones trophy, defeating them 3-1 with two goals from Paradela and another from Rodríguez. The Cementeros' next target is Miguel Herrera's Atlante.
For Cruz Azul, this is now a 15-match unbeaten streak across all competitions, and you'd have to go back to April to find their last defeat. At home, Miguel Herrera's Atlante managed to secure a valuable draw against the club he previously managed, América; with a goal from Pizzuto, the newly promoted side canceled out Borja's opener. A Cruz Azul-Atlante match in the Mexican league hasn't taken place in a decade.
Even so, Atlante didn't win their first away game of the season against Necaxa; they'll be visiting a tough opponent in Cruz Azul now, and betting sites have heavily favored Joel Huiqui's squad.

Our CF Cruz Azul vs Atlante Prediction
Cruz Azul runs a lot all over the field and, in doing so, inevitably finds spaces and vulnerabilities in the defense. Paradela had a truly outstanding game last time out, creating two goals and assisting on another.
Palavecino played against Toluca in midfield and also did a great job, but in league matches, it's Mexican full-back Jeremy Márquez who has performed particularly well. It is unlikely that Atlante will emerge victorious from Saturday's game.
Our prediciton for Cruz Azul vs Atlante is: Cruz Azul -1.5.
