Toluca welcome Tijuana at Estadio Nemesio Diez, Toluca de Lerdo on Thursday, Oct 22 at 3:00 AM in a Liga MX – Apertura fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Toluca come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 1D 2L). Tijuana travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

History strongly favours Toluca here — they've won 6 of 10 previous meetings against Tijuana, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Toluca won 1–0. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.6 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Toluca a slight edge, but Tijuana are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
