CF Cruz Azul and Atlas FC will meet in the second leg of the Mexican Liga MX quarterfinals on Saturday night at Estadio Cuauhtemoc. Cruz Azul will come into this contest with -5000 odds to qualify for the semis after getting a crucial 3-2 win on the road last week. They surged to a 2-goal lead before Christian Ebere sealed the victory on the spot in the 87th minute. Cruz Azul will be keen to get another convincing win and build momentum ahead of the semi-finals.
Atlas FC, on the other hand, will only have themselves to blame after failing to maximize their home advantage. They regrouped last week to even the score at 2-2 in the 81st minute, although their lack of concentration saw them concede a late penalty. It was another performance that highlighted their attacking weaknesses, registering only two shots on target from a possible 13. They’ll now need to score 2 or more goals this weekend to progress.

Our CF Cruz Azul vs Atlas FC Prediction
Cruz Azul is favored at -250 to win this weekend and proceed to the semi-finals. They’ll know that getting an early goal will be crucial in settling their nerves. Therefore, we expect some early exchanges, with the hosts pushing to score first. They’re experts at doing that, scoring first in their last five matches. Atlas will be even more desperate to get on the scoresheet and even the goal aggregate. Both sides struggled under attacking pressure last week, conceding late penalties from avoidable defensive lapses. With Atlas bombing forward, we expect Atlas to maximize those defensive gaps and score at least 2 goals. A 2-1 win for the hosts is our pick.
Our prediction for CF Cruz Azul vs Atlas FC: Both teams to score.
