Atlante FC host Pachuca at Estadio Azteca on Friday, September 11 (11:00 PM ET / 10:00 PM CT / 8:00 PM PT).
There is no fresh team news to disrupt either side ahead of this one, with no injuries or suspensions flagged for either Atlante FC or Pachuca. That points to the same players who have carried both attacks so far this season taking their places again: Eugenio Pizzuto Puga and Jhojan Esmaider Julio Palacios pulling the strings for the hosts, while Pachuca lean on the goals of Jose Salomon Rondon Gimenez and the service from Oussama Idrissi and Elias Enrique Montiel Avalos.

Atlante FC vs Pachuca Prediction
This looks set to be a tight, low-event night at the Azteca, with both sides still shaping their Liguilla push and neither offering much beyond a settled scoring outlet. Rondon remains the biggest threat Atlante must deal with, but with Pizzuto Puga sharper in the final third and the hosts’ recent form the sturdier of the two, expect Atlante FC to edge a cagey affair 1-0.
