If Atlas intends to save itself from paying a large fine of 120 million pesos and go down in a technical but not sporting way, it must defeat Atlético San Luis today, at the beginning of the 9th of the Guard1anes 2021 Tournament, on the double day Liga MX, in a match that will start at 17:00 at Coloso de la Calzada Independencia.
For Zorros and Potosinos it will be a duel of vital importance and will have pure drama, because these are the teams that are directly involved in the fight to not be the last in the standings at the end of the tournament. While Atlas has 0.9457, the subsidiary team of Atlético de Madrid in Spain has a coefficient of 1.0690, so the difference is marked, and a negative result of Guadalajara would put them in serious situations.
This will be a key week in the aspirations of both teams to escape the burn, because being a double day, the red-black team should defeat the team Juárez on Date 10 and that on the same day the team San Luis loses against Toluca, missing the opportunity to add six units to the percentage table, that’s why this afternoon’s game at Jalisco Stadium has dramatic tones.
“It is clear that it is a very important game, because we are the ones who fight for the last two places in the coefficient, San Luis and we are better disposed, it will be difficult, we have two days less than San Luis and it is a disadvantage, we have to to fight against everyone and with this growth we will be able to obtain a good result “, said Diego Cocca, the helmsman of the Foxes.
San Luis comes from a 2-2 draw with Tigres, the runners-up in the Club World Cup, while Atlas drew 0-0 with Toluca last Saturday at Nemesio Díez, in addition to adding five consecutive games without knowing defeat, according to Liga MX, since they fell 2-0 to America on the field, but they won it 3-0 from an administrative point of view and that is why they keep the positive record in the last weeks.
This is how teams could come out:
Atlas: 12. Camilo Vargas; 15. Diego Barbosa, 5. Anderson Santamaría, 2. Martín Nervo, 27. Jesús Angulo; 8. Renato Ibarra, 20. Jairo Torres, 26. Aldo Rocha, 218. Jeremy Márquez, 7. Ignacio Malcorra; 11. Javier Correa.
