- Average value of the expected XI: Necaxa €1.7M, Atlas €2.5M.

- Style contrast in dribbling (Liga MX): Necaxa ranked #2 of 18, Atlas #16.
- Atlas' expected eleven was out of form: average EAR = Elo Above Replacement, football's version of baseball's WAR (Wins Above Replacement). Every rated match scores a player against the average performance for their position: better adds to EAR, worse subtracts. EAR180 adds up the last 180 days (current form); EAR career adds up every rated match. Our predictions add EAR180 to a player's Elo, about 37 Elo points per EAR point. -1.3 over 180 days.
