Toluca vs Chivas Prediction
Toluca finished the regular season in third spot, having garnered 32 points from 17 games. Their last two games have seen one side keep a clean sheet, with the four games before that having witnessed goals at both ends and also produced three goals or more.
Chivas have been the more in-form side and are unbeaten in their last eight games in all competitions. They have won seven games in this sequence, including the last five on the bounce. Fernando Gago's side have kept a clean sheet in each of ther last four and this defensive solidity could be crucial to their hopes of advancing to the next round.
The first leg's result ended a run of four successive head-to-head games to witness goals at both ends. Although one side could nick a win, we are backing the two sides to cancel each other out in a low-scoring stalemate.
Prediction: Toluca 1-1 Chivas
