Cruz Azul vs Atlas Match Preview
With rumors of an imminent sale plaguing the Atlas players' tranquility, Cruz Azul rolls into town in a match that promises to spark two of the country's best offensive teams.
After being shutout last week, Cruz Azul will return home to take on Atlas, who after perching themselves as league leaders, have not won since January 21st, when they struck past Necaxa 1-0. After that, a 2-0 humbling by America, a 0-0 snoozer to Toluca and a 2-1 loss to Santos Laguna have been their underwhelming results.
Cruz Azul on the other hand, have experienced certain extremes: they've been shutout twice, but have also put up some spectacular numbers, such as the 4-0 thrashing of Pachuca on January 29th.
The last five matches have been supremely in favor of Cruz Azul, with all five fixtures going the Maquina's way.
