Deportivo Toluca’s fantastic four match unbeaten run came to the end when Club Universidad Nacional dominated Toluca (3-1). In the last outing, Carlos Gonzalez scored the only goal for Toluca, but couldn’t dominate the home team and win away from home. Coach Ignacio Ambriz will be looking to back his boys and register an important win ahead of the next round. In the last five matches played, Toluca has managed to win three and draw a fixture. Talking about the scoring, Toluca has scored 13 goals, averaging 2.60 goals in the last five matches. With back-to-back wins at home, Toluca will be confident for securing the deal in the upcoming matchup as well.

Going in the contest, FC Juarez is coming off a defeat against Atletico de San Luis (2-0), in which the visitors did managed to secure some momentum in the very last few minutes of play. Maximiliano Olivera missed the only goal scoring opportunity, a penalty in the 59th minute of play. Captain Alfredo Talavera is leading his side with example, producing 2 diving saves in the last match. Coach Hernan Cristante will be confident for his boys to make a reasonably solid comeback. With Olivera, Urzi, and Talavera in the lineup, Juarez might have some luck in attacking against Toluca. In the last five matches played, Juarez has scored only 4 goals, averaging 0.80 goals, which needs to be improved.

With a consistent scoring average of 2.60 goals per game, Toluca is likely to score 2 or even more goals. Toluca has also conceded goals at an average of 1.60, therefore, I am expecting Juarez to score a goal as well. The match total is likely to be over 2.5 goals.
