In the upcoming fixture of Liga Mexico, Matchday 13, Toluca will be up against Tigres UANL at the Estadio Nemesio Díez in Toluca. Going in the matchup, the table standings will be the key for the two, as only 5 more matches are to be played by each side in the competition. According to the standings of now, Toluca stands 4th with 6 wins and 22 points, and Tigres UANL stands 7th with 6 wins and 21 points. Hence, the difference in points impacting the standings is quite visible between the two. If Tigres manages to win, the top five standings might change overnight. The last time these two sides played against each other, Tigres won (3-1). In both clashes of 2022, Tigres dominated Toluca.

For the upcoming contest against Tigres, Toluca will be missing out on Oscar Ortega due to a knee injury. Whereas the inclusion of Leonardo Fernandez and Carlos Orrantia is doubtful. Going in the matchup, Toluca is coming off a draw against Club Tijuana (3-3), in which Toluca had momentum in their favor at the start. With Maximiliano Araujo scoring back-to-back goals and Brayan Angulo scoring the 3rd one in the 35th minute of play, Toluca was certainly on top of their game. With three wins, a draw, and a defeat in the last 5 matches played, Toluca has demonstrated decent consistency this season. In the last 10 home matches, Toluca averages 2.50 goals in terms of scoring and averages 1.40 in terms of conceding. Hence, the upcoming matchup could yield high-scoring results for Toluca.

Going in the matchup, Tigres UANL is coming off a defeat against Monterrey (0-1) and a draw against Orlando City (1-1) in the CONCACAF Champions League Round of 16 fixture. In the last outing against Monterey, the substitutions came in late as Nicolas Lopez and Diego Lainez replaced Ibanez and Pizarro. Aggressing with a 4-4-2 formation, Tigres will be fancying its chances for scoring and attacking positively. In the last 10 away matches, Tigres has struck goals at an average of 1.70 goals and has conceded goals at an average of 0.80 goals. Hence, Tigres will take its chances for scoring and leveling the pressure imposed by Toluca.

I am backing Toluca to win this time against Tigres and the final scoreline to be 2-1.
