Pachuca vs Atlante Match Preview
Efrain Flores will debut as Pachuca's head coach against Atlante this Saturday at the Estadio Hidalgo. After several years as Chivas' manager, Flores will take over the Tuzos and try and steer them into the playoffs, which they made last season.
He'll miss Leobardo Lopez, his starting central defender, who is out due to injury. Atlante will be without Ever Alfaro, who is suspended. Following two straight losses, Atlante will look to rebound and also get their first three-pointer out on the road.
Efrain Flores will face off against Miguel Herrera, who managed crosstown rivals Estudiantes Tecos prior to taking the Atlante job. It's worth noting that the Potros have not won two consecutive games this season. Pachuca have not won in three games, which accelerated former manager Pablo Marini's exit.
