Team news & rosters
| Position | Club Tijuana roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Alcala, Diaz, Mendoza, Higuera |
| Defenders | Tercero, Lozoya, Rak, Jara, Guzman, Manriquez, Yanez, Angulo |
| Midfielders | Ruiz, Castillo, Pavez, Martinez, Rodriguez, Ortiz, Rivera, Dominguez, Cortizo, Gamiz, E. Lopez, Barcenas |
| Forwards | Manotas, Vazquez, Barbona, Sansores, D. Lopez |
With two defeats in their first two games, Los Xolos will be relishing the return of Jonathan Orozco from Mexico duty at the Gold Cup - but this match might come too soon for his return to action.
Benny Diaz then will likely get the nod between the posts to start for the hosts, while Vladimir Lorona's Tokyo 2020 absence means Eduardo Tercero will likely fill in at right-back once more.
Predicted Club Tijuana starting XI: Diaz; Tercero, Guzman, Rak, Lozoya; Ruiz, Pavez, Rivera; Barbona, Manotas, Castillo.
| Position | Toluca roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Garcia, Saldivarr, Gutierrez |
| Defenders | Chavez, Barbieri, Vanegas, Ortega, Sartiaguin, Chala, Torres Nilo, D. Gonzalez, Diego, Lopez, Salinas, Rosales |
| Midfielders | Baeza, Vazquez, Rios, Leon, Rodriguez, Castaneda, Acero |
| Forwards | Samudio, Sambueza, Pardo, Canelo, Estrada, I. Gonzalez, Chavez, Engelhart |
Los Diablos Rojos remain untroubled by the international scene, with no players on duty at either the Gold Cup or the Olympics - and a big win over Tigres last time out has showcased their credentials going forward.
After missing out on a start in his first two games, Michael Estrada could be in line to start up front, while Luis Manuel Garcia will remain the rock at the back for the visitors.
Predicted Toluca starting XI: Garcia, Lopez, Ortega, Barbieri, Torres; Baeza, Vazquez; Sambueza, Castanesa, Canelo, Estrada.
