Atlas odds: +107 – 47.0%

Draw odds: +255 – 27.0%

Cruz Azul odds: +270 – 26.0%

Over 2.5 Goals at +109 looks good to us, as our Atlas vs Cruz Azul prediction has a solid 47.85% chance of succeeding. Contrary to our second betting tip, Atlas are the expected winners as they have a sturdy 47.0% win probability ahead of matchday 1. Cruz Azul’s odds stand at +270, but we still believe the visitors will do well on Sunday.

Atlas vs Cruz Azul Lineups & Team News

Atlas

Atlas recorded four victories, four losses, and nine draws in their Clausura campaign. It’s was a very mediocre display from coach Mora’s boys that we think they’ll replicate in the 2023 Apertura if something drastically doesn’t change.

Predicted lineup – Hernandez (GK), Barbosa, Nervo, Robles, Aguirre, Reyes, Marquez, Rocha, Herrera, Furch & Quinones

Cruz Azul

As we mentioned earlier in our Atlas vs Cruz Azul prediction, the visitors have experience on their side. After all, coach Ricardo Ferretti is the most knowledgeable coach in Liga MX. He has 56 official games against Atlas, and that’s an advantage you can hardly put a price on.

Predicted lineup – Corona (GK), Rivero, Silva, Escobar, Funes, Vargas, Antuna, Rodriguez, Lira, Rotondi & Estrada

Player to Watch: Julian Quinones

There were several players on our radar, but it’s Julian Quinones who’ll have to be our pick as a player to watch in our Atlas vs Cruz Azul predictions this week. He slid the ball past the goalkeepers on 12 occasions in the 2023 Clausura and was the sole reason why Atlas got as far as they did. Coach Benjamin Mora is perfectly aware of the gem he has at his disposal, and he’ll surely rely on him to lead Atlas’ attack against Cruz Azul on Sunday.
