Atlas seeks redemption against Tigres

After a terrible performance in the first match, where they were crushed by Toluca, Atlas wants to get back on track and achieve their first victory as they host Tigres de la UANL, who are also looking for their first three points, in a match corresponding to the second round of the Clausura 2017 Tournament of Liga MX.

The Jalisco stadium will be the venue for this match, which will start at 19:00 hours, with Diego Montaño as the referee.

A regrettable debut was experienced by the "Furia Rojinegra" as they fell 1-4 against the "Diablos Rojos". They started winning in the first minute, but after being reduced to ten men, they lost control of the game.

Coach José Guadalupe Cruz, who will be without Luis Robles due to suspension, wants this project to really work. They need to be strong at home, as it seems difficult for them to earn many points away from home.

The Atlas team, who has no points, has only won three out of their last ten home games against their current opponent, with five draws and two losses.

Tigres, from "Sultana del Norte", started with a draw in front of their home crowd and with a squad full of substitutes. This could change for this match, as the Brazilian coach is likely to give minutes to some of the regular starters.

It remains to be seen at what physical and footballing level they are at, as the priority will be to avoid any injuries that could keep them off the field.

The defending champions, who have one point, have five wins, one loss, and four draws in their last ten matches played on any field.
