Toluca will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 11 points behind Pumas UNAM.
- Toluca has the most scored goals in the first half (20) in Liga MX
- Toluca have scored at least twice as many goals at home as Pumas UNAM have scored away.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Toluca form and stats
Toluca are steadily winning Liga MX games and points here at Estadio Nemesio Díez. 5 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats is the summary from 8 games. Nine out of nine points from the last three home games for Toluca, and the home supporters are ready to scream their lungs out to keep the winning streak alive.
A nice win for Toluca last time playing, versus Mazatlán. That was also a home game and the match ended 4-1 with Rubens Sambueza and Alexis Canelo (3) scoring for the victors. A defeat was the result before that one, 2-3 away at Tijuana.
Alexis Canelo was absolutely essential when Toluca beat Mazatlán 4-1, scoring three goals.
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 Toluca have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eight games) they have won five times, drawn one and lost two.
Toluca have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Estadio Nemesio Díez with 14 goals in 8 league matches. It's worth mentioning that 9 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 9 goals have been conceded.
Pumas UNAM form and stats
Playing away, Pumas UNAM have won 3 games, drawn 4 and suffered 1 defeat in the Liga MX this season. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Pumas UNAM have lost on their last two travels.
E. Montejano was the last player to score for the away team. Pumas UNAM haven't scored a league goal in the last 289 minutes.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Pumas, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Monterrey. Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Atlas.
Pumas UNAM goalkeeper Alfredo Talavera had a great day against Monterrey, but despite making six saves the loss could not be avoided.
We have checked recent matches where Pumas have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 14 games were two victories, four draws and eight defeats.
Pumas have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 8 league away games 10 goals have been scored. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Pumas UNAM have seen the ball go into their own net 9 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
These teams' last encounter with each other was the Pumas UNAM - Toluca 1-0 earlier this season. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: four - one - five (Toluca wins - draws - Pumas UNAM wins). As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four had two or less.Top Goalscorers
