One of the novelties for this tournament at Atlante was the return of Christian Bermúdez, who confessed his desire to win the title with the Potros, the team with which he performed best in Liga MX:

"Here I need another championship with Atlante. To win another title, now in this league, would be something spectacular and satisfying. Above all, because of the history I have here and the feeling I have that this is my home. I feel very good. The training sessions are very useful and intense. When it comes to transferring it to the field, it's very cool," he commented in an interview with the newspaper ESTO.

This is how the Dorados de Sinaloa arrived in the Mexican capital in search of a return to winning ways.

Since these two teams will no longer move in the general table, the Liga de Expansión MX has already announced the playoff schedules for next week, where they will be facing each other:

Tampico Madero vs Mineros

Pumas Tabasco vs Tepatitlán

Cimarrones vs Venados

Leones Negros vs Correcaminos UAT

Whatever happens in this match will not change anything in the overall standings, because Dorados will be first and Atlante second, which is why they qualify directly for the quarter-final round.

Matchday 17 of the Liga de Expansión MX comes to a close with the two best teams in the championship when Atlante does the honors against Dorados de Sinaloa. We begin with coverage of the game.

Dorados Sinaloa 3-2 Atlante, Clausura 2021

Atlante 4-1 Dorados Sinaloa, Apertura 2020

Atlante 2-1 Dorados Sinaloa, Clausura 2020

Dorados Sinaloa 0-0 Atlante, Apertura 2019

Dorados Sinaloa 3-6 Atlante, Clausura 2019

Colombian José Zúñiga has stolen glances in this certamen with his good performance that has been reflected with 12 goals, being important for Sinaloa to be the best offense in the Liga de Expansión MX.

Without making a lot of noise, Armando Escobar has been one of the first-choice starters in Mario García's team and, since his arrival, he has been a fundamental part of the offense where he has scored five goals and a brace against Mineros de Zacatecas.

12 Luis López, 14 Luis Félix, 17 Alonso Zamora, 30 Luis Hernández, 33 Hiram Muñoz, 6 Jesús Vázquez, 16 Adolfo Domínguez, 19 Jonathan Suárez, 8 Paolo Yrizar, 26 José Zúñiga, 27 Jonathan Betancourt.

There is no doubt that Dorados has been the best team in the competition and for several weeks has been the leader with 37 points, however, they received their first setback and it was a 3-0 defeat at home against Tampico Madero, so they need to regain their confidence and show that they are ready to win the title against their closest rival.

Atlante's Potros de Hierro have only had two defeats in the championship and have gone five games without losing, which has made them second in the general table and, in addition, they are the best defense in the tournament with only eight goals allowed. It should be noted that the azulgranas took advantage of this week and a half off to play friendly games against Santos Laguna, Pumas and America, with a balance of one draw and two defeats by the slimmest of margins.

The Atlante vs Dorados match will be played at the Ciudad de los Deportes Stadium, in Mexico City, Mexico. The kick-off is scheduled at 1:00 pm ET.
