- Tigres won in 3 of Tigres' last 5 matches and they have won their last 3 consecutively. Atlante have a decent away record in Liga MX 2026-2027, scoring an average of 2.00 goals per game after 2 games. Tigres are in much better form than Atlante, winning 3 of their last 5 games (D1, L1) compared to the visitors' 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats in the same period.
Auriazules are the favourite for Atlante clash
League standings will tell you that this is a game between two struggling clubs. Tigres are 16th in the Liga MX 2026-2027 table with just one point in their opening 3 games, while Atlante are 10th with four points from as many games. However, the hosts are in the far better form of the two sides, and come into the game looking for their 4th straight win after drawing 1 of their 3 games.
The Auriazules have won 3 of their last 5 and drawn their only home game, but they've conceded 2 goals, so they're clearly not locking things down yet.
Eugenio Pizzuto has 2 goals in 3 Liga MX 2026-2027 games to lead Atlante's scoring charts, but Jhojan Julio has matched his output with 2 assists and 2 goals in their 5-game run to this point.
Guido Pizarro took charge of Tigres in March 2025, and his side still look like they're built around patient possession, controlling the pace and pressing selectively. The visitors are more of a direct, high-tempo side and like to get at you on the break, so this is a bit of a chess game - one side will want to make it a possession game and the other a vertical track meet.
Potros de Hierro have lost their last 2, but Miguel Herrera's side have been much more lively on their travels in this new season, so an away goal or two may be on the cards.
The price on Tigres is still 1.35 for this game and that's a bit tight, with Atlante 8.0 and the draw at 4.33, so we're going to take the longer odds on the away win.
There is a good chance that Atlante can get on the scoresheet at some point on Saturday, they're faster than Tigres and will be looking to hit them on the counter. So, the safer play for the main pick could be for Tigres to win and both teams to get at least one goal.
Diego Sanchez leads the scoring charts for the hosts with 1 goal in 2 games, but Rodrigo Aguirre has been sniffing out goals too, getting 2 of their 6 in their last 5. With Joaquim already having 2 assists in 3 Liga MX 2026-2027 appearances, he can keep their attack ticking along.
Their 3 most recent games have all finished level, but Tigres have kept their cool and beat Real Salt Lake, Minnesota United and Vancouver Whitecaps on penalties.
