Only a few games have been played in the Liga MX so far, with Toluca placed 9th and Pumas UNAM sitting in the 2nd position.
The hosts Toluca saw competitive action as recent as three days ago, playing in the Copa MX. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Pachuca.
Toluca form and stats
Toluca are yet to win a home game, having collected 1 point from their first two Liga MX games here at Estadio Nemesio Díez. With three draws from their last three games overall it has been a case of neither great nor terrible for Toluca.
Toluca drew their last game, 2-2 away at Pachuca (placed 17th). A 1-1 draw away in the Liga MX before that, with Tijuana the opponent.
F. Pardo was able to secure the draw 2-2 in the game against Pachuca after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?
This is expected to be a close game, with Toluca perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Toluca as a small favourite), we find seven games. Toluca has won two of these, drawn two and lost three.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Toluca as they have a new game in only three days, a Copa MX match thankfully also at home. Pachuca are visiting.
Early season league goal statistics from Toluca's 2 home games: 5 goals, 6 conceded.
Pumas UNAM form and stats
Things could have gone better for Pumas UNAM in their Liga MX away matches, but 2 points from 2 games is all right. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Pumas UNAM have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone ten consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Atletico San Luis game.
Impressive finishing from Juan Dinenno and Favio Álvarez secured the home win 4-0 against Atletico San Luis in their previous game. Preceding that game, the 1-1 draw paying a visit to Santos Laguna.
As mentioned above, Pumas UNAM was the only team on the pitch versus Atletico San Luis in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Pumas UNAM playing away and similar expectations, we found eight relevant matches. Results were two Pumas UNAM wins, three draws and three defeats.
It's early days yet, but Pumas UNAM has scored 5 and conceded 5 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
Head 2 Head
The most recent history between these sides is the Pumas UNAM - Toluca 2-1 played earlier this season. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: five wins for Toluca, one draw and four wins for Pumas UNAM. Over 2,5 goals: seven times; under 2,5 goals: three games.Top Goalscorers
