Atlas FC<\/a> host Pumas UNAM<\/a> at Estadio Jalisco on Saturday, September 19 (7:00 PM ET \/ 6:00 PM CT \/ 4:00 PM PT).<\/strong><\/p>\n

No fresh absences are flagged for either side heading into Estadio Jalisco. Atlas FC will again lean on Luis Henriques de Barros Lopes, the attacking midfielder good for 2 goals and 2 assists from 492 minutes, alongside striker Florian Gonzalo de Jesus Monzon, who has 2 goals from 11 shots, while defensive midfielder Edgar Zaldivar Valverde offers a set-piece and aerial threat of his own after 2 goals this term. Pumas UNAM’s central thread again runs through Robert Osmar Morales Benitez, the midfielder who has created 10 chances and scored 2 goals in 705 minutes, with striker Olavio Vieira dos Santos Junior the line leader on 4 goals from 10 shots.<\/p>\n

Expect a tight, low-event contest at Estadio Jalisco. Atlas FC’s home form has been streaky \u2014 a win over Tigres UANL and another at Cruz Azul either side of defeats to Monterrey and Queretaro FC \u2014 and there’s little in this season’s sample to suggest they’ll create enough against a Pumas UNAM side that has kept things tight even while chasing goals of its own, evidenced by back-to-back goalless and one-goal draws with Queretaro FC and Necaxa. This has the feel of a fine-margins night settled by one moment rather than an end-to-end shootout.<\/p>\n
