Going in the contest, Club Toluca is coming off a win against Guadalajara (1-2), in which Carlos Gonzalez and Marcel Ruiz scored goals. Toluca will play with a 4-4-1-1 formation, with Gonzalez leading the attack. Though Luis Garcia will be unavailable for selection, Toluca has robust players in the lineup that are capable of scoring and defending goals throughout the play. Toluca’s home form is quite better compared to the away form, as it stayed undefeated in its last 4 league matches.
