Santos Laguna vs Atlas Match Preview

Santos Laguna has the opportunity today against Atlas to climb up the ranks. The match will be held at Nuevo Corona behind closed doors due to Covid-19 pandemic.

In the previous round, Santos Laguna suffered a 3-1 defeat against Club America on the road. The match was decided, since the first half, when they had already conceded three goals. In the second half, they only manage to reduce the score from the penalty spot at the 67th minute.

They are placed quite low in the standings, and now they have to change things up, starting with today's game against Atlas. Their home performances are decent so far, actually, they habe taken there their most positive results.

Atlas remains at the bottom of the standings having just one point after four rounds. This one point came from a 1-1 away draw against Atletico San Luis. In their most recent home match, they suffered a 1-2 defeat to Toluca.

Their many defensive gaps have cost them many points so far. Their new manager is the 48-year-old Diego Cocca, who previously was the manager of Rosario Central. However, he will not be at Atlas' bench for tonight's game.

Santos Laguna is strong when playing at home, always they are performing decent. On the other hand, Atlas has many issues, especially on their defensive line. Santos Laguna will try to take an early lead playing offensive. So, I will stick to HT/FT 1-1 for Santos Laguna, offered at 2,75 odds.
