Morelia vs Atlante Match Preview
Morelia's huge win at the Estadio Azteca last Sunday has them near the top of the table, looking down and laughing at detractors that called for manager Tomas Boy to resign or be fired.
Atlante, in a complete state of reconstruction, still search for their white whale: winning outside of home. Miguel Herrera's offensive tactics have not translated well out of the Estadio Quintana Roo, where the Potros are still winless.
A home win would mean three in a row for the Monarchs, and the lack of injuries or suspensions means it will have a full deck against the visitors. Atlante will most likely put two strikers on the pitch, Venezuelan Giancarlo Maldonado and former Pumas star Francisco Fonseca.
A win would also break the increasing trend of Atlante beating the Michoacan-based team: they've won four in a row, five out of six and have not lost to Morelia since 2007.
