Club Tijuana vs Atlas FC: Predictions, Picks, Odds & Lineups

Club Tijuana host Atlas FC at Estadio Caliente on Friday, September 25 (11:00 PM ET / 10:00 PM CT / 8:00 PM PT).

There are no reported absences for either side this week. Club Tijuana’s attack continues to run through midfielder Gilberto Rafael Mora Zambrano, who has 4 goals and 1 assist from 11 shots and 9 chances created this season. Striker Mourad Daoudi El Ghezouani (2 goals from 12 shots) and midfielder Adonis Stalin Preciado Quintero (14 chances created, 1 assist) round out the group Tijuana lean on most. Atlas FC are similarly settled, with attacking midfielders Luis Andre Leite Esteves (3 goals, 17 chances created) and Luis Henriques de Barros Lopes (2 goals, 2 assists) supplying the creativity behind striker Florian Gonzalo de Jesus Monzon (2 goals from 14 shots).

Expect a tight one at Estadio Caliente. Club Tijuana’s season profile — 13 points from seven games with four wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, and a +2 goal difference — fits a side built to grind out one-goal margins, and recent results have been streaky rather than free-scoring: a 2-1 win over Cruz Azul, a 5-2 defeat at Chivas, a 2-0 win over Pumas UNAM and a 0-1 home loss to Queretaro FC most recently. Atlas arrive off a heavy 5-2 defeat at Toluca, though their away form has also produced a 2-0 win at Cruz Azul. With both sides showing defensive cracks in patches, this reads like a cagey, low-scoring night that Club Tijuana edge at home.
