Atlasand Necaxa are set to square off on Wednesday at the iconic Estadio Jalisco, promising an exciting Liga MX showdown under the midweek lights.
This matchup shapes up as one of the most intriguing midweek contests, given both teams' strong showings over the weekend. For Atlas, securing all three points is essential to stay in the hunt for a Play-In spot.
Despite snapping a frustrating seven-game winless streak with a dramatic 3-2 triumph over Puebla, Atlas' defensive vulnerabilities remain a concern, having conceded multiple goals in three of their last four outings. Their ability to stay competitive in the playoff race will hinge heavily on standout performances from Djurdjevic and Gonzalez in the coming weeks.
