We said: Atlas 1-1 Cruz Azul

Atlas did not possess a great record in front of their own fans last season, winning just five games in total, while Cruz Azul were not great travellers either, so we think this will be a closely-fought contest. The first game of the season tends to be a tentative affair, so we think both teams will be slow out of the blocks. Read more.
