Form Guide — Last 5
Toluca
Toluca's last five league results read D‑W‑W‑W, highlighted by a 4-0 home win over FC Juarez and a 5-2 home victory against Atlas. Those two dominant performances show a potent attack that is likely to break down Santos' defense, reinforcing the expectation of a home win.
Santos Laguna
Santos Laguna's form is L‑L‑D‑L‑W, including a 0-1 home loss to Guadalajara Chivas and a 0-1 away defeat to Cruz Azul. With only one win in five and three clean‑sheet defeats, their attack has sputtered, suggesting they will struggle to threaten Toluca's goal line.
