Week 8 brings us a match on Aug 14th where Chivas plays host to Atlas in a Liga MX match. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 15 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. In their last match, 17th placed Chivas, recorded a 1-2 loss against Mazatlán. Alfonso Sanchez struck first for Mazatlán in the 68th minute, but Angel Zaldívar got the equalizer for Chivas in the 78th minute. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 8 points in their last 10 matches, while 13th placed Atlas is fresh off their 3-1 win against Querétaro. Ángel Sepúlveda struck first for Querétaro in the 35th minute, then Luis Reyes tied it up for Atlas in the 64th minute But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback in the 68th minute on a goal by Herrera Morales. Atlas looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 4 of their last 10.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season. Last season Atlas won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Both Julian Andres Quinones Quinones and Jonathan Ozziel Herrera Morales have been the hottest scorers for Atlas in the last 5 each having scored 2 goals each. Vega Rojas and Sebastián Pérez Bouquet Pérez are the top scorers for Chivas in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
