Toluca host Santos Laguna at Estadio Nemesio Diez in Toluca de Lerdo in a Liga MX Apertura fixture that pits the table leaders against a side fighting to stay relevant in the standings.
Antonio Mohamed's side arrive in exceptional form. Five wins from five competitive matches have put Toluca firmly at the top of the Apertura table, and their attacking output has been relentless across that run.
Santos Laguna, under Renato Paiva, find themselves in a far more uncomfortable position. Sitting 17th in the Apertura standings, Los Guerreros have managed just one win in their last five competitive outings and travel to Toluca de Lerdo with precious little momentum.
The gap between these two sides in the table makes this a difficult assignment for Santos. Paiva's squad will need a significant improvement on recent performances to take anything from a ground where Toluca have been in dominant form.
