Betting on Toluca
As we have already mentioned, they were unable to debut last week because the Jalisco field was in a terrible condition, so they had an extra week of preseason. They already faced the Águilas during the preseason and lost by a score of 2-0. Nacho Ambriz’s team is not getting off to a good start, even though they count on a good squad, and in the Sky Cup they lacked rhythm. The coach also assured that they would be ready for the tournament, but they did not play the first matchday, and we will not know how they will perform until they take the field.
Maxi Araujo is adapting and has not yet connected with striker Carlos González, but the little that has been seen of them together is very striking. Toluca has a strong squad that could reach the final once again, so they just need a little more rhythm.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Tiago Volpi, Everardo Lopez, Brian Garcia, Andres Mosquera, Bryan Angulo, Jean Meneses, Fernando Navarro, Juan Gamboa, Leonadro Fernandez, Maxi Araujo, Carlos Gonzalez
America Preview
America left much to be desired in its debut at the Azteca. It was never able to break the deadlock against Queretaro and playing well is no longer enough for América. They want their 14th league title, and Fernando Ortiz has no margin for error.
The Azulcrema attack was not convincing and continues with the negative streak of last year’s league. It has been very difficult for them to score since their quarterfinals game against Puebla, in which even Memo Ochoa could have scored a goal.
The team has not changed, but it seems that they are still in preseason. Fortunately, the tournament is long and a poor start is not the end of the world. América knows that the important thing is not to qualify for the playoffs in first place, but to qualify.
Possible Lineup (4-4-1-1): Oscar Jiménez, Miguel Layún, Israel Reyes, Sebastián Caceres, Luis Fuentes, Alejandro Zendejas, Pedro Aquino, Alvaro Fidalgo, Brian Rodríguez, Diego Valdés, Jonathan Rodríguez.
JefeBet Prediction
America suffers when they visit Toluca, as it was evidenced during last year’s semifinal because the scarlet team fans create a very hostile atmosphere for the team from the capital. America needs a win, but this time Toluca will be stronger and will take all the three points at home.
America’s negative streak will continue in the State of Mexico, as theyhave not won in the league for more than three years at the Nemesio Diez stadium.
Prediction: Toluca 1-0 America
