Cruz Azul vs Atlanta Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in Leagues Cup on Sunday, 30 July 2023.
Both Cruz Azul and Atlanta had the misfortune to get grouped with Leo Messi’s Inter Miami, and as expected, both teams lost their respective fixtures against them. Cruz Azul managed to hold on till the very end, until they were beaten by a last-minute freekick by Leo.
Meanwhile, Atlanta suffered total destruction. They lost 4-0 against the toppers of the group, and this puts them at a massive disadvantage. They need to make up this goal-difference, and this further increases pressure upon them.
Only once have these two teams locked horns with each other – back in February, in a friendly. The two teams shared spoils with a 3-3 draw then.
There are two qualification spots from the group to the knockouts, and with Inter Miami having taken the top-most spot, the second place is up for grabs.
As such, this crucial win is important for both of these teams, and we can expect a tightly-contested affair.
Considering recent form though, Cruz Azul are on the back foot. They are on a long losing streak, and have a single win in their past nine match-ups. All along they let in goals in huge numbers as well.
On the other hand, Atlanta might have lost their recent fixtures, but note that they did win two of their past five overall games.
A win seems the expected outcome for Atlanta this Sunday at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Atlanta won two of their past five overall fixtures, and despite their loss against toppers Inter Miami, they are comparatively far better than their counterparts for the day.
On the other hand, Cruz Azul are on a five-game losing streak, and even remained winless in eight of their previous nine overall match-ups.
By the looks of things, a win is anticipated for Atlanta this weekend at 2.25 odd.
