Atlas vs Mazatlan predictions for Liga MX
The 2021/22 Liga MX champions take on Mazatlan in an attempt to make a solid step toward defending the throne. Will Atlas finally get a victory over this opponent or will Mazatlan’s winning run continue? Find out in our Atlas vs Mazatlan prediction below.
Contents
Under 2.5 goals
As much as Atlas were hammering away at Mazatlan in the last clash, they failed to score even a single goal. The traditions were honored as the clash ended with a narrow 1:0 victory for Mazatlan at home. Four of the last five games between the two teams ended with two or fewer goals being scored and we’ll be quite surprised to see the showdown on the 13th of January be any different as both teams aren’t up to par with the top attacking clubs in the league.
Double chance – Draw or Mazatlan
The biggest shock that we can see in gameweek two of Liga MX is Atlas defeating Mazatlan. Yes, Mazatlan aren’t one of the more prolific Mexican clubs, and Atlas did become champions last year but the visitors are always robust versus Atlas. They didn’t lose a single one of the five head-to-heads and managed to win three games while two ended in draws.
Even with the home-field advantage on their side Atlas’ players won’t be able to cope with the pressure and will most likely lose this game.

Atlas odds: +100 – 50.0%
Draw odds: +250 – 26.0%
Mazatlan odds: +275 – 24.0%
As you can see from the odds above, at +100 the bookies clearly believe that Atlas have about a 50.0% chance of winning this one. We beg to differ and we appreciate the +250 that BetMGM provides which translates to about a 26.0% chance while Mazatlan have “only” a 24.0% chance of success on Friday at +275.
Predicted lineups, team news, and last result
Atlas
Atlas certainly didn’t have a glamorous Apertura campaign and they even lost versus Guadalajara in the Copa por Mexico clash on the 28th of December. Nothing about coach Benjamin Mora’s team screams “champions” and we find it hard to believe that this troubled side will cope with Mazatlan on Friday.
The game against Guadalajara, close as it might have been if you are only to look at the scoreboard, was a somewhat one-sided affair as the Goats dominated Atlas.
Predicted lineup – Vargas (GK), Barbosa, Aguirre, Nervo, Reyes, Chala, Zaldivar, Marquez, Ortega, Herrera & Quinones
Mazatlan
Shocking as it may be to hear, Mazatlan were above Atlas in the Apertura ranking after 17 games played. At the end of the opening part of the season, coach Gabriel Caballero’s boys had 17 points – a comfy four-point lead over Atlas.
Nevertheless, Mazatlan aren’t exactly enjoying a high-flying display as they got beaten badly by Atlas, Guadalajara, and Santos Laguna in the Copa por Mexico clashes a couple of weeks ago.
Predicted lineup – Vikonis (GK), C.A. Vargas, Orona, Vidrio, Colula, Barcenas, Sanchez, Meraz, Colman, Sosa & Sansores

Player to watch: Julian Quinones
Transfermarkt values Julian Quinones at approximately €6.00m which makes him singlehandedly the most expensive player on the pitch on Friday. With most of Atlas’ ambitions laying on his shoulders, we’re certain that he’ll be one to watch as he’s not one who shies away from a fight.
Julian Quinones was the culprit to blame for Atlas’ success in the 2021/22 season and we’re confident that he’ll perform on Friday as well.
