Atlas vs Santos Laguna Match Preview
Atlas will attempt to stave off other teams at the top of the table and reclaim the top spot when they face Santos Laguna, an all-or-nothing squad that has proved equally dangerous to opponents with a wildly successful attack, and to themselves with one of the league's worst defenses.
Last season's second place holders will square off against this season's surprise team, as both teams look to reinstate their winning ways as soon as possible. Atlas have not won in two matches, losing to America and drawing against Toluca. Santos have seen their excellent Apertura campaign far from replicated in the current Clausura.
The last matches between these two teams have been nip-and-tuck: both squads have beaten each other twice in the last four games, with the biggest blow coming from Santos to Atlas last season, when the green-and-whites won by a score of 3-1.
Atlas will see playmaker Edgar Pacheco - who scored against Bosnia midweek - back in action this weekend.
