Atlas will welcome Club America to Estadio Jalinsco for a matchday four clash in the Liga MX.

The home side come into the game on the back of a narrow 1-0 away victory over Pachuca on Tuesday. Julio Furch's fifth-minute strike proved to be the difference between the two sides.

Club America registered a 2-0 home victory over Philadelphia Union in the first leg of their Leagues Cup semifinal on Friday. Richard Sanchez and Victor Aguilera scored in each half to give the hosts the advantage in the tie.

Club America and Atlas have each garnered seven points from three games to sit third and fourth respectively by virtue of a higher goals-scored column.

Both sides have been defensively compact this term and this could translate into a low-scoring game of few chances on Sunday.

Club America might be slight favorites due to their good form but home advantage could count in Atlas' favor. We are predicting a share of the spoils with goals at both ends.
