A high-flying Monterrey crosses swords with a stumbling Toluca outfit in a crucial Liga MX clash at the Estadio BBVA.
Monterrey have three wins in their previous five games as they are third in the table and have the perfect opportunity to leapfrog the two sides above them with the home side boasting a crucial game in hand.
Toluca, on the other hand, are ninth in the table and have just two wins to show in the competition. The visitors played out a draw against Necaxa last week with both sides sharing the spoils in a six-goal thriller.
