Guadalajara form and stats

When playing at home in the Liga MX, Guadalajara have managed 4 wins, 3 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 9 games.

The home team returns to Estadio AKRON after being equal after 90 minutes with Puebla on their last time out; the Liga MX game ended 1-1. A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Leon.

A painful moment in the game against Puebla was the missed penalty kick from Jesús Molina in the 24th minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome.

Guadalajara are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 9 games. On the other hand, Guadalajara have conceded 9 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Toluca form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Toluca, who have the most conceded goals (19) away in Liga MX, so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-6 (win-draw-lose). The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on R. Cristante Mandarino, the Toluca manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

There were no winners in Toluca's previous match, a Liga MX home game that ended 0-0 vs Queretaro. Prior to that match, the Toluca manager R. Cristante Mandarino faced defeat when travelling to Tigres UANL and losing 1-2.

Toluca have scored 9 goals on their travels this season, from 9 away games in the league. The Toluca manager R. Cristante Mandarino has some worries about the defense as 19 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

The most recent history between these sides is the Toluca - Guadalajara 1-0 played earlier this season. Last ten meetings between the teams: Guadalajara won three, Toluca won one and six draws. three games with over 2,5 goals, seven matches with two goals or less.
