Nashville SC and Toluca get a break from their league challenge to fight for a possible trophy in this Leagues Cup Group Stage fixture.
The hosts Nashville SC saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Leagues Cup. This match was also played here. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Toluca have had more rest.
Nashville SC form and stats
Nashville's previous match was a Leagues Cup game also played at their home, finishing 2-1 versus Colorado Rapids. The home team hope to to build on that result.
Prior to that, an away loss at Cincinnati in the Major League Soccer.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 Nashville SC have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 16 games) they have won 11 times, drawn 2 and lost 3.
Toluca form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Liga MX travels is 1 win, 0 draws and 0 defeats.
Toluca have a lot to remedy after their unexpected defeat (2-4) to Juarez in their previous game, played at home. As you can tell from the result, the match against Juarez was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today? The attacker Dominguez got a match rating of 7.84 in that game. Dominguez hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 6 of 6 times and had 34 successful passes (of 39 total).
Before that one, a nice away victory 2-0 at Cruz Azul.Toluca are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 8 wins, 0 draws and 4 defeats. From a total of 12 matches.
A new game in only four days for Toluca, the Leagues Cup home match versus Colorado Rapids. Busy days.
Toluca have the goal stats of 2-0 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.
