Toluca enters the arena of the Torneo Clausura 2023 of the Liga MX when they receive an América that disappointed in its first game and that will seek to recover.
Toluca was unable to play the first matchday due to the poor state of the Jalisco stadium, so this will be its debut in the tournament.
América, for its part, had a bad start after drawing 0-0 at home against Querétaro and will try to look for the lost points.
When:
Saturday, January 14 at 8:05 pm ET at the Nemesio Diez Stadium
Moneyline odds:
Toluca +290
América -110
Draw Offs:
+270
Where Can I Watch it?
Why Bet on Toluca
Toluca comes from being the runner-up in the Liga MX, in a final where it was crushed by Pachuca (8-2), causing great pain among the players and fans, not so much because of the defeat but because of how it was. That is why in this tournament they hope to get rid of the thorn and fight again for the title.
They had to play last Saturday with Atlas, but the field of the Jalisco stadium was very bad so the game was suspended. This is something that plays in favor of the Diablos Rojos, who are more rested and can bring surprises.
For this tournament, Ignacio Ambriz’s team brought Jesús Vanegas, Brian García, Carlos Orrantia, Maximiliano Araújo, and Iván López, but without a doubt, Leonardo Fernández and Tiago Volpi will continue to be the stars of this team.
Why Bet on América
They have the favorite sign but did not show it. Although América was much better than Querétaro, they could not beat them and drew 0-0. Despite having 26 shots, 7 on target, 15 corner kicks, and 67% possession of the ball, they were unable to score any goals and it is something that could worry Fernando Ortiz if his team does not correct it.
Now they will have a much tougher test, against a more demanding rival, away from home and who has just eliminated them in the semifinals of the Apertura 2022 (3-2), so this could be a small revenge.
Finally, Óscar Jiménez was the starting goalkeeper, taking the place left by Guillermo Ochoa, and he had two very good saves, so he would continue in the starting eleven above Luis Malagón.
Final Betting Analysis: América vs. Toluca
A very good match between two title candidates. América continues to be the favorite despite being a visitor and having equalized in the first game, but Toluca already showed last tournament that it can surprise them. We believe that it will be very close and that it will end in a draw.
At MyBookie.ag we find that America is the favorite of the match with a Moneyline of -110, while Toluca has +290 and the draw is +270.
The last time they played was on October 22 of last year and they tied 1-1 at the Azteca stadium, but Toluca had won 2-1 in the first leg and advanced to the Liga MX final. Haret Ortega, Leonardo Fernández, and Jorge Torres scored for the Diablos Rojos in that series, while Emilio Lara and Alejandro Zendejas scored for the Águilas.
Go for a draw in the Moneyline. If you bet $100 on the draw at +270, you will gain $270 for a total payout of $370.
