Toluca form and stats

3 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Toluca playing as the away team in the Liga MX this season.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Atlas in their previous outing. The match ended in a draw 0-0. Attacker Fernández got a player rating of 8.31 in the game. "Man of the match" Fernández hit the woodwork once, hit five key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 35 successful passes (of 43 total).

A draw for Toluca before that, at their own venue hosting Leon (0-0).

Goal-happy betting people should observe that 9 of this club's 12 most recent league rounds have ended with three or more goals.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Toluca have scored 10 goals in 8 league games away. Toluca have conceded 10 goals in these away matches.
