The last game next Saturday in Liga MX will feature a clash between Cruz Azul and Atlas, teams that have recently struggled to find consistent form, but whose rosters could be among the league's most robust. However, playing at Banorte Stadium is a strong advantage for Cruz Azul, so the odds make them clear favorites to win.
Despite this, Cruz Azul’s injury list hasn’t reduced in recent weeks, so they are expected to keep struggling for at least a few more weeks. With that in mind, finding more than one time the back of the net will be very unlikely for Cruz Azul, as they should spend more resources defending with two of their three center backs injured.
Meanwhile, Atlas has proven competitive in Liga MX. Still, Hernán Crespo’s main priority should be reducing disciplinary issues, as they received at least one red card in their last two games. Given this, Juan Sánchez Purata won’t play in this game in Mexico City, but that shouldn’t be a tactical issue, as players like Duk and Florian Monzón will be available.

CF Cruz Azul and Atlas FC Stats in Liga MX
CF Cruz Azul - Atlas FC Key Points
- Cruz Azul scored at least one goal in its last nine official games, but they couldn’t maintain their clean sheet in their last three games.
- Atlas has a two-game road winning streak in Liga MX, so ignoring their chances of securing at least one point in this game would be a significant error.
- Cruz Azul maintained a clean sheet during its last two home meetings against Atlas, but they couldn’t score more than two goals.
- Atlas scored more than one goal in only one of its last five road meetings against Cruz Azul, so surpassing this line is very unlikely to happen.

Our CF Cruz Azul vs Atlas FC Prediction
As shown, the chances of a spectacular game are very low because both teams have struggled offensively in their most recent matchdays. Considering this, Cruz Azul’s favoritism is based only on their recent positive result against Atlas, but it ignores their current injuries.
In conclusion, even though Cruz Azul will likely dominate ball possession, missing Rodolfo Rotondi, Agustín Palavecino, and Willer Ditta is a serious problem for Joel Huiqui’s team. Therefore, the pick for CF Cruz Azul – Atlas FC is: Atlas to Cover +0.5 Spread!
