Should Atlas fail to win at the Kraken, it would accumulate eight matches without a win in the current Liga MX tournament, which would happen after four years when they had a similar streak in the 2018 Apertura.

The canyoners have only one win in six home games, and in those games Mazatlan has not been able to keep a clean sheet, so in a match as important as today's, the defense will have to give twice as much.

Mazatlan and Atlas have met on four occasions, with the Sinaloa team winning all four, and on those four occasions Atlas has not been able to beat them, giving Mazatlan a record of two wins and two draws, and in the last two matches the cannonballers have come out victorious.

Camilo Vargas, 32-year-old Colombian goalkeeper, since his arrival to the red and black team has been in charge of preventing the team from losing points, the national team selection has strengthened the defensive part of the team, in the current tournament he has been key for the team not to have more defeats, without a doubt he is one of the best goalkeepers in Liga MX and in this closing of the season his appearances will have to be more precise to avoid the fall of his goal.

Gonzalo Sosa, an experienced 33 year old attacker, has become Mazatlan's benchmark, although the team did not score many goals in the previous tournament, this player was fundamental for the team, this season with 11 games as a starter he has barely scored one goal, but it would be a good time for the player to start scoring.

Vargas, Abella, Santamaria, Nervo, Aguilera, Reyes, Herrera, Marquez, Zaldivar, Quiñones, Ocejo.

Vikonis, Sandoval, Mere, Vidrio, Colula, Meraz, Intriago, Barcenas, Benedetti, Bello, Rubio.

Atlas is going through a bad season, very different from the two previous seasons where they won the championships, the Rojinegro team has not found its best version this tournament, injuries are the main causes of the team's low level, because when the team won the championships, the starting eleven in all the matches was practically the same, the changes were also similar, it is said that they won the championship with 14 players, This season the team did not adapt to the circumstances and went from having a positive goal difference of 10 goals to being minus 7, in the last match against Pumas, it was crucial for them to get the victory in order to have more points margin, since they usually need 21 to qualify, in case of not getting the three points they would only aspire to nine more, having a total of 19, which would leave them apparently eliminated and with no chance of defending their championship.

Mazatlan in its short history has not been characterized as a winning team, in the previous season the team barely reached its first playoffs in which it could not qualify for its first playoffs, for this tournament the team had significant changes as it is common in a team that does not reach the objectives in Liga MX, in this tournament Apertura 2022 Mazatlan has 12 points which places them in 13th position in the table, very close to the playoffs, With five games left to play, the team still has a margin of error to seek the playoffs, but it is important that they start looking for victories to avoid a surprise because with only two wins they would not be enough, their last game against Rayados was a scoreless draw, a good result if we consider that it is a very expensive squad compared to Mazatlan's, the match against Atlas could mean the elimination of the Rojinegros and get them into the playoffs momentarily.

The Liga MX is reaching its final stage and some teams are on the tightrope with only a few days left to play, the Mazatlan vs Atlas match is one of those duels that could define the season for some of these teams, especially the current champion Atlas, the results have not come to the team and are already in a very complicated area, Mazatlan still with more possibilities also needs the win to stay in the fight for a place in the playoffs, this day is very attractive, as it can end the season for some teams or can put them in the fight.

Good afternoon to all VAVEL readers! Welcome to the live broadcast of the Liga MX match Mazatlan vs Atlas. The match will take place at Estadio el Kraken, at 10:00 PM.
