Toluca looking for home win

Coming into the season with reasonably high expectations, Toluca have been highly underwhelming in Liga MX action thus far. The side finished second bottom of the opening phase, finishing well short of the play-offs whilst things aren’t going much better in this closing phase, currently stationed in 15th.

Nonetheless, despite having just 10 points from 9 matches, Toluca are only 4 points behind the top 8 places and a run of form could really change the dynamic of their season. As such, picking up a win on Sunday is of paramount importance and having won 2 of their last 3 home games, those taking to the pitch can be quite confident in doing exactly that.

Atlas looking to take home a result

Meanwhile, the season isn’t going any better for Atlas; who are fortunate that there is no relegation from Liga MX this term, given they are bottom of the average points table. The visitors finished the opening phase in 14th place and given they are currently second bottom of the closing phase with just 6 points from 9 matches, they don’t look like doing any better this time around.

Atlas could really do with picking up a result in Sunday’s trip but with confidence at rock bottom, they don’t seem at all likely to secure one. Indeed, they’ve now lost their last 5 matches, scoring just twice and conceding a concerning average of 2 goals a game in the process.

Toluca have to be fancied

Ultimately, there can only be one sided considered as favourites in this weekend’s clash and that’s Toluca. Man for man, they are a stronger outfit than Atlas and although they aren’t flying, they are in nowhere near as poor shape as the visitors.

All things considered, backing a home win looks the best way to play as far as the betting is concerned and is something we’re more than happy to do. Toluca have scored an average of 2.62 goals a game over their last 8 home matches.and we don’t picture them having trouble in putting a couple past Atlas, with a 2-0 margin of home victory on the cards.
