After four games we know a little more about the qualities of Tijuana and Toluca in this fresh Liga MX season. Read our match preview!
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Toluca have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 0-1-3 (win-draw-loss) from four matches.
It's quite the trip for Toluca when visiting Tijuana as the cities are 2700 kilometers apart.
Tijuana form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Tijuana's two home games in the Liga MX so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Estadio Caliente.
The fans are hoping that Tijuana will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Liga MX game against Atlas (placed 9th). Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Atlético San Luis.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Tijuana have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found nine games) they have won six times, drawn one and lost two.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Morelia are coming to town in four days.
Early season league goal statistics from Tijuana's 2 home games: 2 goals, 1 conceded.
Toluca form and stats
Four points from two away games for Toluca, meaning one draw and one victory in the Liga MX so far.
Toluca's last game was the home draw against Cruz Azul (3-3). Before that, Toluca secured a home win against Atlas (after extra-time, 5-3 on penalties) with the score 3-2.
A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Toluca, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
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, one draw and two defeats. From a total of four matches.
Toluca have the goal stats of 3-2 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
Head 2 Head
