Game Preview
Toluca scored twice in Monterrey, yet they conceded three goals. Now that’s a problem for Antonio Mohamed ahead of this event. They took the lead early on, but allowed three straight hits in their net, before Luan’s goal for 3-2.
Now this is something Toluca often experiences. Three of their past four games ended with Pau Lopez allowing at least two goals. Diablos Rojos play entertaining matches, and only one in the last 10 didn’t end with three or more goals overall.
As for Monterrey, Sergio Ramos might come back for this one. The 39-year-old Spanish legend is questionable for the moment, and if the medical staff manages to recover him, that would be a big plus for La Pandilla.
This team has won four of its last five meetings but concedes way too often. For instance, Monterrey allowed at least two goals in four of the previous six contests.
Toluca vs. Monterrey Head to Head

Toluca vs. Monterrey Predictions
