The Atlas vs Santos Laguna Liga MX match will be broadcast live online and on TV as Los Zorros host Los Guerreros at the Estadio Jalisco this Friday, March 29, at 8:00 PM Pacific.
Atlas is currently in a transitional phase as Leandro Cufre was recently named as the successor to Guillermo Hoyos. Cufre did not have a great start with Los Rojinegros as Atlas lost 2-0 to Toluca away from home in his first game in charge. The team from Guadalajara has been suffering this season, currently in 15th place with just 10 points as Cufre has a lot of work to do.
The Argentine manager did make some adjustments to the lineup as Edgar Zaldivar, who had previously only played as a fullback played as a defensive midfielder. The backline looked like a five-man setup at times with Jesus Isijara playing as a fullback, but other times like a four-man setup with Anderson Santamaria playing as a fullback. Cufre definitely used unconventional tactics in his first match and it will be interesting to see how he sets up his team for this match.
Santos Laguna is currently in 10th place with 15 points and is a clear-cut playoff contender this season. Los Guerreros are on a rough three-game winless streak, coming off a 2-1 loss to Necaxa, but this is a golden opportunity to pick up the three points.
The Celestial Warriors have a strong squad as the strike partnership of Julio Furch and Javier Correa has been working wonders as the pair has combined for eight goals scored this season. The midfield is arguably the strongest component of the team with Mexico international Juan Jose Vazquez putting in work and Diego Valdes generating a creative spark.
Atlas vs Santos Prediction
FutnSoccer predicts a 2-1 win for Santos Laguna as Los Guerreros are in much better form and that should show on the pitch.
