Last three games Atlante has been unable to beat Jaguares, last two have been Jaguares 1-0 victories.

Jaguares Chiapas

The team receive the visit of Veracruz, which for second time on the tournament had change coach, and it was an intern coach in this match. It was at the same time that Jaguares change coach and this last one still continues.

In this match, Veracruz came out with more compromise and provoke more scoring chances, but it was until the last part of the second half that Veracruz MF Malher Tresser Moreno score a great goal from a pass of MF Luis Alfonso Sandoval. Jaguarew FW Javier Campora provoke to important chances in this half but was unable to score.

For the second half, Jaguares change some players be more offensive as FW Salcedo and MF Alejandro Corona get to the match, the team seems with more power, but didn't score. Almost in the ecuator of the second half, finally FW Sebastian "Chamagol" Gonzalez finish a long time withoutscoring, altough really the goal was an own goal of Jaguares, but FW "Chamagol" celebrate it with a lot of joy and this helps him to win confidence, which is important in a forward.

From this point Jaguares continue tu attack and altough having some good chances, the team was unable to score.This is the second consecutive defeat of Jaguares in home, but in exchage on the weekend they beat Atlas on home, in what was an antonish and great result for them and it was that what is holding coach Victor Manuel Vucetich in the job. But another defeat or set of defeats will put his position in risk.

The team has get a very irregular step and last three matches the team haven't act according the the expect as on one match show good defence but in the next show lack of it. The team really need to find a steady step. Their best striker is Javier Campora with 7 goals, which is the leader striker of the tournament, but needs more regularity in his performance.

Suspended:

MF Alejandro Corona

Atlante

The team receive in Azteca stadium, the visit of Queretaro, and the team show that with the youth values the team have find the right formula as they are the ones marking the pace of the game, this time FW Christian Bermudez was unable to score, this time it was DF David Orto, which at pass of DF Arturo Muñez score the first goal. Queretaro didn't give up and by MF Marco Antonio Garcia score their first goal in away thanks to a pass of Queretaro U20 MF Jose Piña. Before the end of the first half FW Gustavo Bizcayzacu receive a pass of Jose Joel to score the second goal to go to the half time with the advantage on the score.

In the second half, Atlante came out with the same offensive display, but relay on the defensive scheme with quickcounterattack on the wings and throught passes. Queretaro hold, but it was a great play in which Atlante score. Atlante FW Gustavo Bizcayzacu receive the ball and between two defenders sends a pass with the back part of the feet to the space where FW Franco Mendoza appear to take it and inside the area receive a foul, trip and the kick the ball that with the bad exit of the GK get into the net to give the definite score 3-1 for Atlante.

Five minutes later Queretaro was awarded a penalty, that FW Samudio send to the post and outside to fail it. From there Atlante just support the attacks from Queretaro, which didn't where much to get the victory. Apart from their third consecutive victory, the team accumulates four games unbeaten.

The team has get a good step in the three matches they have dace, but really analizing the rivals they have face the only that really posses a test was Atlas, because they took Necaxa after Libertadores Cup match and Necaxa look tired and against Veracruz was the last match of their second coach (which really didn't make any improvement). The team is reaching the best offensives of the tournament thanks to FW Gustavo Bizcayzacu (6 goals), FW Franco Mendoza and youth Christian "Hobbit" Bermudez (2 goals each one).

Match:

Chiapas will not be a easy venue for Atlante, and more later of a defeat of the home team, but the things that Atlante is reaching with the squad they have is to respect. So I see a tight match with the home side more compromise to came out attacking to revert their situation and Atlante with their counterattacking and tight defence.

Prediction:

I sense that altought the odds give Jaguares favorite I sense that Atlante is on a good streak and is showing important things, I am delight with FW Christian Bermudez, so I found value on Atlante 0AH.
