¿Por qué apostar por León?
León is one of the surprises of the tournament. On one hand, they made a substantial splash in the transfer market by signing James Rodríguez, the best player of the last Copa América and the greatest footballer in Colombia’s history. He has had an impressive career with clubs like Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, winning, among other titles, two Champions League trophies.
The No. 10 started in the first few matches but was rested on the bench against Mazatlán. Despite his absence, León secured a 1-2 victory with goals from Emiliano Rigoni and Ettson Ayón, both scored within the first 10 minutes. This win keeps their perfect record intact, with four wins in four games, seven goals scored, and just three conceded.
Besides James’ impact, Venezuelan striker Jhonder Cádiz has also stood out as the team’s top scorer with three goals.
A positive update for head coach Eduardo Berizzo is that he will now be able to count on Steven Mendoza after serving his four-match suspension, as well as Carlos Cisneros, who was sent off against Mazatlán but will complete his suspension versus Pachuca.
¿Por qué apostar por Toluca?
Despite being one of the main contenders, Toluca is not having the best tournament. However, last weekend, they managed to defeat a tough opponent in Tigres with a 1-0 victory, climbing to sixth place with eight points.
The winning goal was scored by Paulinho in the 91st minute, ending a three-match winless streak in which they had drawn against Monterrey (1-1) and Pumas (1-1) and lost to Mazatlán (2-1).
The ‘Diablos Rojos’ have managed to score in every match, but only in their opener against Tijuana (a 2-4 win) did they score more than one goal. On top of that, the match against Tigres was the first time they kept a clean sheet in this La Liga MX temporada.
Argentine coach Antonio Mohamed, who took over this season, was sent off in the last match, meaning he won’t be on the bench this weekend.
Paulinho, Helinho, and Alexis Vega have each scored two goals, and the team is still waiting for Héctor Herrera to improve his fitness. He came on in the 73rd minute against Pumas and in the 82nd minute versus Tigres.
Análisis final de apuestas: León vs. Toluca
They are two strong teams, especially León, who have a perfect record. Toluca still needs to improve in several areas, and once they do, they will perform very well—but not just yet, which is why we expect ‘La Fiera’ to win 2-1.
The odds at Gambyl Exchange favor Toluca, with a Moneyline of 2.29, while Club León stands at 2.80, and a draw is at 3.68.
