Celaya vs Atlante tips and predictions

Quality Liga de Expansion MX clash should be a tight affair

There's not much between Celaya and Atlante in the Liga de Expansion MX. The hosts are in first place with 32 points, compared to their opponents who are in second place on 31 points.

Anything can happen here but the deadlock warrants serious consideration. Building on the strong rearguard performances of both sides, a goalless stalemate is the pick and the draw odds available in the match winner market look like pretty good value.

These sides have impressed at the back. Establishing something of a fortress at home, Celaya have conceded only 1 goal in their last 5 matches, while Atlante have only conceded 0.7 goals per game on average in their last 19 away matches.

In previous matches in this head-to-head, 5 of the last 7 have ended in a draw.

The match could turn into a game of small margins with the two sides ultimately cancelling each other out. It's not standout value but the No BTTS bet would be prudent.

Celaya have drawn 6 of their last 17 matches on their own soil, including their most recent match when they drew 1-1 with Alacranes de Durango last Sunday. Atlante have drawn 6 of their last 8 matches. They shared the spoils with Leones Negros last Monday. The feeling is it will be a tightly contested match-up and the pick has to be with the value offered up by the draw price. Basically, you could do worse things than cheering on the stalemate.
