Tigres de UANL vs Deportivo Toluca Prediction: Expecting a Competitive Draw

Tigres UANL and Toluca will meet in the upcoming fixture of Liga MX which is scheduled to be played at University Stadium, San Nicolas de los Garza. Going in the game, both teams aren’t having quite satisfactory games as they both trail behind the desired game form. According to the statistics of today, Toluca stands 5th with 6 wins and 22 points from 5 games played in the contest. On the other hand, Tigres UANL stands 6th with 3 wins and 21 points in the league so far. With 12 wins over Tigres UANL, Toluca leads the head to head statistics quite comfortably. 

After winning the contest 2-0 against Santos Laguna, Tigres UANL tied three consecutive games and then lost to CF America in their very latest contest. In the 2-1 denting loss, only Andre-Pierre Gignac managed to score the only goal with the assistance of Vladimir Lorona. With a goal scoring average of 1.1 goals per game, Tigres UANL might be successful in defending themselves at home. 

• Andre-Pierre Gignac
• Francisco Cordova
• Florian Thauvin
• Nicolas Lopez

Going in the game, Toluca is coming off a draw against Guadalajara (0-0) and before that a defeat against Pachuca (1-4). Toluca’s only win in its last five games played came against Cruz Azul (2-3) but after that it seems something has changed in Toluca’s ranks. Fernandez leads the tally with the most goals for Toluca this season, giving his side a bit of confidence as they look to take over Tigres. With a very healthy goal scoring average of 1.5 goals per game, Toluca will look to get few shots in the goal post and win.

• Jean Meneses
• Leonardo Fernandez
• Camilo
• Fernando Navarro

Going in the game, much will depend how these two expresses themselves on the field. The game is expected to finish close near the final whistle time. I will be predicting a draw with both teams managing to score a goal each. 

• Final Result - Draw for 4
• Both Teams to Score - No for 1.9
• Total Under 2.5 for 2.02
