Cruz Azul vs. Toluca Odds
Game Preview
La Maquina is in excellent shape ahead of this game, having posted 4 wins in a row, including two in the League Cup, which came following a penalty shootout. The last two were in the Liga MX, when they beat Atletico San Luis away from home, 1-2 and Santos Laguna at home, 3-2.
Cruz Azul plays interesting and efficient matches. Just one in the last 7 hadn’t seen over 2.5 goals. On the other hand, it’s the same when it comes to both teams netting.
Toluca suffered a nasty, penalty shootout loss to Orlando in the Leagues Cup quarterfinals. After no goals were scored during the 90 minutes, we saw penalties, during which the Lions had more focus and luck.
This was the third game in a row for Toluca with under 2.5 goals. They didn’t play like this in the near past, as in the seven consecutive matches before this streak, both teams scored and over 2.5 goals were seen.
Cruz Azul vs. Toluca Head to Head
In April of this year, the two sides split a point each, playing to a 2-2 draw with Toluca hosting the game.
Cruz Azul vs. Toluca Predictions
Despite Toluca’s low-scoring affairs in recent times, we are picking over 2.5 goals, due to the hosts, who pressure and force the rivals to engage in an open and offensive battle. Also, having seen the previous results Toluca had, we are pretty sure they too know how to play like this.
