Atlas probable lineup

Atlas are a team with more than 100 years of foundation, but that does not mean that they can win against any team, so far in the current Liga MX Torneo Apertura 2022 phase they are not big favorites and it is unlikely that the team can make the playoffs.

Until now the top scorer for Atlas is Julian Quiñones with only five goals, a fairly low number that shows the poor offensive attack that the Mexican team has this season. So far Atlas have scored 15 goals for an average of 1.00 goals per game.

This is the likely Atlas’s lineup for this game: JosĂ© HernĂĄndez, Idekel DomĂ­nguez, Gaddi Aguirre, JosĂ© Abella, JesĂșs GĂłmez, Emanuel Aguilera, Edyairth Ortega, Abraham Bass, Ozziel Herrera, JesĂșs Ocejo, Cristopher Trejo
