Toluca

DLWLWW

Toluca, following on from their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after the 0-1 Liga MX (Clausura) success over Monterrey.

It’s been all too rare in recent games where Toluca haven’t conceded. The reality is that Toluca have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 games, shipping 6 goals on the way. Previous results aside, we’ll just have to find out if that pattern will be sustained in this next match or not.

Looking at the pre-match facts, Toluca:

• have not been beaten in the league by Santos Laguna in their last 2 games.
• are undefeated in their last 7 home league matches.

Santos Laguna

After tasting defeat last time out to Necaxa in Liga MX (Clausura) competition, Santos Laguna and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

In their last half-dozen clashes, Santos Laguna have amassed the sum of 10 goals. Santos Laguna have also managed to score on each one of those occasions. During that period, they have seen 10 goals go against them.

A look at their previous results shows us that Santos Laguna:

• haven't won against Toluca when they've played them away from home in the last 4 league games. Not the best of away records.
• are without an away win for the past 28 matches in the league. Their travelling supporters must be so depressed.

📋 Team News: Toluca

It’s our opinion that Los Diablos Rojos could make use of the 4-2-3-1 system for the game, handing starts to Hugo Gonzalez, Diego Barbosa, Bruno Méndez, Everardo del Villar, M. André Isais, Fernando Arce, Pavel Uriel Pérez, Helinho, Santiago Simón, Nicolas Castro and Oswaldo Virgen.

🗞️ Team News: Santos Laguna

It’s our belief that Guerreros seem most likely to utilise a 4-1-4-1 formation, going with Carlos Acevedo Lopez, Efraín Orona, Óscar Haret Ortega, Kevin Balanta, Bruno Amione, Aldo López Vargas, Cristian Dájome, Fran Villalba, Kevin Palacios, Carlos Gruezo and Lucas Di Yorio.

🔮 Prediction

We’re of the view that Toluca will most probably have the majority of the possession and should be able to turn a few of their chances into goals.

Conversely, Santos Laguna may well find it hard to break down their defence but do we see them scoring here.

We’re tipping a 3-1 winning margin for Toluca at the end of the 90 minutes.
