D1 - Football - Mexico - Liga MX

Atlas(18th place):

Located in the last place of the league table, have draw last games 0-0. Have just won one game in the tournament, and defeat is the constant.

Their defense is the 17th of the tournament with 24 goals in 12 games. But it is important to remark that in the last 2 games they haven`t receive a goal. And that is an improvement for these team.

But if the improvement is in the defense, in the offense is the 15th with 13 goals, with also in the last two games they haven`t been able to transform, 180 minutes with out scoring very worrying.

Suspended: Christian Valdez

Local form(last 5):

1W - 2D - 2L

A very poor team that is playing these game as if the preseason was, trying to be better for everygame, which players will stay and more decision taking.

Tigres(12th place):

Lost in the "Volcan" by 0-3, their public were there in every moment but the situation of playing both tournaments, make Tigres to saved some players and well lost last league game.

But are making a great Libertadores Cup tournament, are already in the next phase, but they should decide between local tournament or Libertadores Cup, because they have to avoid the group to suffer a lot of work overloading.

The offense have make 16 goals, and the defense have recieved 16 goals for a 0 goal average.

They have great players, a great midlfield with a good treat of the ball, and experience players, and perfect strikers, that make these team hard to bet, but on the away are another thing, since 26 September 2004 they have won a game in away.

Walter Gaitan is suspended, injured Sancho, Briseño, Jesus Olalde, Sànchez and Alvarez. But their squad is fullfit to cover these absences and still be a competitive team against Atlas.

Visit form(last 5):

0W - 1D - 4L

I think they would be able to take the win here, and al least after so many time won in away. Important points that would out the team straight for the fight for the playoffs.

Last h2h:

24 Apr. 2004 Atlas 2 - 2 Tigres
30 Oct. 2004 Tigres 1 - 3 Atlas
