Another interesting game in the Liga MX. Tijuana is in the 16th position after playing two matches. They welcome Toluca who are placed 1st after two games.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

This pitch has artifical turf, which is not Toluca's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artifical turf Toluca have performed like this: Played seven matches resulting in 0 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats with the goal stats 6-13 (scored/conceded).

These teams have little in common geographically as Toluca have to travel 2700 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Tijuana form and stats

The home fans saw their team lose the first Liga MX game of the season here at Estadio Caliente. Last season these fans witnessed 4 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses from Tijuana's 8 home games.

No payout for Tijuana in their previous match, an away game at Leon that ended in defeat 1-2. Midfielder Jordi Cortizo was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.44 (out of ten) in that game. Cortizo hit two key passes, dribled passed the opponent 3 of 4 times and had 19 successful passes (of 22 total). Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at David Barbona for missing a penalty kick versus Leon in the 41st minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.

Ahead of that match, Tijuana lost 1-2 at home to Tigres UANL.

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Tijuana handle that role? We have found 19 games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are 13 wins, two draws and four defeats.

Tijuana has scored 1 goal so far and conceded 2 goals from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.

Toluca form and stats

1-0-0 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Toluca in their Liga MX matches away.

Toluca go into this game after a win, the home game against Tigres UANL that ended 3-1. Midfield player Kevin Castañeda was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.43/10. Castañeda hit one key pass, dribled passed the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 48 successful passes (of 54 total).

Before that one, a nice away victory 3-1 at Juarez.

Toluca are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, four draws and six defeats. From a total of eleven matches.

It's early days yet, but Toluca has scored 3 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
