Toluca and Monterrey meet in the Leagues Cup, with Antonio Mohamed's side carrying the form of a team that has barely put a foot wrong all summer.
Los Diablos Rojos arrive having won four of their last five matches across all competitions. Their most recent Leagues Cup outing was a 2-0 defeat of Leon on September 3, a result that added further weight to their credentials as one of the more complete sides in this tournament.
Mohamed has built a squad that defends with discipline and punishes opponents quickly in transition. Three clean sheets in their last five matches tell a story of a team that is difficult to break down, and their 4-0 dismantling of FC Juarez in Liga MX on August 31 underlined just how clinical they can be.
Monterrey arrive in a more uncertain position. Matias Almeyda's Rayados sit 13th in the Leagues Cup table and come off a 1-3 Liga MX defeat to Atletico de San Luis on August 31, a result that will have tested confidence ahead of this fixture.
Almeyda's side did show what they are capable of earlier in the tournament, beating Chicago Fire FC 2-1 on August 26 to close out their group stage with purpose. Their most recent result was a 2-2 draw with CF America in the Leagues Cup on September 3, a point that at least demonstrated resilience.
The gap in current form between these two clubs is clear, with Toluca holding the stronger record in both results and league standing. Read on for everything you need to know about how to watch this Leagues Cup fixture live.

Form

Their most recent result was a 2-0 Leagues Cup victory over Leon on September 3, which followed a 4-0 Liga MX win over FC Juarez on August 31.

Toluca have kept three clean sheets across those five matches, conceding just one goal in total.
