Toluca Preview
Toluca Advanced to the semifinals by defeating Santos 6-4 on aggregate, winning both games of the series by scores of 4-3 and 2-1. With this, the Mexican team has now won four consecutive victories and is undefeated in six games.
They will open the series at home and that could be something in their favor, as they only lost one of the nine games they played at home in the regular phase, and now have five unbeaten games at home with three wins and two ties. In four of those games, Toluca scored at least two goals, and this positive streak could boost the team’s morale.
Absences: No report.
Probable lineup: Tiago Volpi; Carlos Guzmán, Andrés Mosquera, Valber Huerta, Jorge Rodríguez; Claudio Baeza; Fernando Navarro, Leonardo Fernández, Jean Meneses; Camilo Sanvezzo and Carlos González.
America Preview
Club América continues its good performance in the Apertura 2022, having been the best team in the regular phase with 12 wins, two draws and three defeats in 17 matches. They defeated Puebla in the quarter-final series with an aggregate score of 11-2, after a 6-1 win in the first leg and a 5-1 victory in the second leg game.
America’s offense was the best in the regular tournament with 38 goals scored and now has 49, making it a fearsome opponent. It is worth mentioning that América was the best away team of the season, with six wins and three draws in nine matches.
Absences: No report.
Probable lineup: Guillermo Ochoa; Emilio Lara, Sebastián Cáceres, Néstor Araujo, Luis Fuentes; Álvaro Fidalgo, Richard Sánchez; Alejandro Zendejas, Diego Valdés, Jonathan Rodríguez and Henry Martin.
JefeBet Prediction
América has seven consecutive away wins, six of which have ended with a total of more than 2.5 goals. It could be a high-scoring affair with goals from both sides, as the two teams scored the most goals in the quarterfinals. However, we lean towards America as the winner of the match because of their dominance and form in recent times.
Prediction: Club América wins by a score of 1-3.
