Where Can I Watch it?
Why Bet on Atlas?
After they beat Mazatlán on January 13th, Atlas could no longer beat any team in Liga MX. Since then there have been 5 games, 4 draws, and 1 loss. With the recent bad results, Atlas is only in 13th place, after six games played.
Historically, Atlas has not had good luck against Tigres: in the last 20 clashes between them, the visitors have won 8 games, while Atlas have been victorious only 4 times.
Striker Jonathan Herrera has been the main highlight of the team but has scored just one goal this season. To achieve a good result against Tigres, Atlas will need to reinvent their way of attacking and defending themselves, so as not to suffer with the technical quality of their opponent.
Why Bet on Tigres?
Tigres players and fans still don’t know how they managed to tie the game against Juárez, at home, in the last round. They played a safe game, and created many chances, but stopped in the stoppages of the veteran goalkeeper Alfredo Talavera, at his 40 years old.
Striker Gignac was not on his best day and, perhaps because of that, Tigres left the field without scoring a single goal in the game. Despite this setback, Tigres remains one of the best teams in the country, being able to beat any of the Liga MX teams, at home or away.
Winning against Atlas, away from home, could mean breaking the instability of the team, which has not been able to build a winning streak that increases the confidence of the players and makes the team behave as the biggest contender for the national title.
Final Betting Analysis: Atlas vs. Tigres
In the face of their fans and the pressure of recent results, Atlas will certainly make life difficult for their opponents, pressing from the start and playing a game with a lot of physical contacts – something that usually happens in a game of this size.
However, despite playing at home, the Atlas team lacks players capable of changing the course of a match against a better opponent, in case of conceding the first goal. Tigres, in turn, has a qualified squad, which fights to win the game until the last minute, as they know they have enough technical capacity to reach the opponent’s goal in a fructiferous way.
We believe in the victory of the visitors for this confrontation, as Tigres has a squad that is technically superior to Atlas.
If you put $100 into Tigres’ win, you could get $25 back for a total payout of $125.
