Toluca form and stats
Toluca, who have the most conceded goals (20) in Liga MX, have played 4 Liga MX games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-0-1 (wins-draws-losses).
The home team returns to Estadio Nemesio Díez after being equal after 90 minutes with América (placed 1st) on their last time out; the Liga MX game ended 1-1. Preceding that match was the home game against Juarez that was lost 0-1.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.

Santos Laguna form and stats
Santos Laguna have only collected 2 points from their away games in the Liga MX, after 0-2-4 (6 played).
It might be tough going out on the road again for Santos Laguna, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-2 versus Tigres UANL (placed 6th). Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus Pumas UNAM.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Santos Laguna playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were one Santos win, two draws and four defeats.
The attacking power of Santos when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 6 league matches away. For Santos, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
