Atlético San Luis Hosts Atlas in Must-Win Match

San Luis Potosí, Mexico – This Friday, October 17, Atlético San Luis will face Atlas in a critical Liga MX match at the Estadio Alfonso Lastras. The game marks the return of league action after a pause for FIFA international play.

The home team, Atlético San Luis, sits in 15th place with just 10 points and is still seeking its first home victory this season, having recorded one draw and four losses under coach Guillermo Abascal. Despite their struggles, San Luis still dreams of reaching the Repechaje, or playoff zone.

In contrast, Atlas arrives with a challenging record of five consecutive away matches without a win. The team, now led by Diego Cocca, aims to capitalize on their recent momentum after two games without a loss against San Luis, including a friendly and a league match, the last of which saw Atlas triumph 2-1.

San Luis’s last outing ended in a 2-1 defeat to Mazatlán, keeping them from climbing the standings. Meanwhile, Atlas is on the rise, having improved their performance and currently sitting in 11th place with 13 points, just below Pumas.

From their last 10 encounters, Atlas has won five, drawn two, and lost three against San Luis. The last competitive match played at Estadio Alfonso Lastras saw San Luis dominate 2-1, spurring their fans’ hopes for another win this Friday.

The match will kick off at 9:00 PM (Mexico City time), and viewers can watch live on ESPN 2 and Disney+. In the United States, TUDN will broadcast the game.

As the Liga MX season nears its conclusion, both teams must secure points to keep their playoff aspirations alive. For Atlas, a victory could provide the necessary boost to push further into contention for the playoffs.
