Analysis:

Free Soccer Play from Doc’s Sports. Liga MX Take Atlante/Pumas UNAM DRAW (+235) (11 p.m., Friday, October 16). We see plenty of value in the draw in Friday's Liga MX matchup between Atlante and Pumas UNAM. These are two struggling sides that have had difficulty finding consistency, and we don't see much separating them here. Atlante has been particularly draw-prone, splitting the points in five of its first 11 league matches, including three of its first five at home. Pumas hasn't been much better overall, and its defensive struggles have been a major problem. The visitors have surrendered 11 goals over their last five matches, making it difficult to trust them to take all three points on the road. Atlante has managed just one victory in five home matches, but three of those contests finished level. We expect another competitive match with both sides having opportunities but neither doing quite enough to secure the victory. At +235, we'll take our chances with the draw. Read More Read Less
