How is Atlas performing?

Atlas, now managed by Gonzalo Pineda, seeks redemption after a challenging Apertura 2024, where they fell short of expectations and missed out on the top spots. Despite showing flashes of good football, inconsistency was their primary issue.

In their last matches, Atlas delivered mixed results. They drew 2-2 against Cruz Azul in a game where they managed a comeback but couldn’t maintain their lead. They also suffered a heavy 4-0 loss to Monterrey, highlighting defensive struggles. However, they stood out with a 2-1 victory over Chivas in the Clasico Tapatio, demonstrating their ability to compete in high-pressure matches. Pineda must work on improving defensive solidity and leveraging their offense to achieve better results in Clausura 2025.
