Toluca DLWWWW 📈
Toluca, following on from their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after the 6-2 Liga MX (Apertura) triumph versus Monterrey.
In that match, Toluca had 47% possession and 24 shots at goal with 13 on target. For Toluca, the goals were scored by Jesús Angulo (23'), Paulinho (25', 40', 52') and Nicolás Castro (34', 62').

Their more recent scorelines show that quality has been evident in the Toluca rearguard. Toluca have been mean at the back, resulting in the total number of goals that have flown into the back of their net over the course of their last 6 clashes standing at 4. It will be interesting to find out whether or not that trend will end up being sustained here.

ℹ️ Team News: Mazatlán
Out of a mainly healthy group, there’s just the sole fitness problem for the Mazatlán gaffer Robert Siboldi to be concerned with. Alberto Herrera (unknown injury) won’t be playing here.
We’re of the thinking that Mazatlán will likely make use of a 4-4-1-1 formation by sending out R. Daniel Gutiérrez, Bryan Colula, Facundo Almada, Lucas Merolla, Mauro Zaleta, Edgar Yoel Bárcenas, J. Joaquín Esquivel, Jordan Sierra, Omar Moreno, Nicolás Benedetti and Anderson Duarte.
💡 Prediction
In this match, Mazatlán could really find it hard to find the net against a Toluca outfit who look likely to win well here.
We’re expecting a 3-0 winning scoreline for Toluca after 90 minutes.
