Toluca

The Liga MX resumes this weekend with an intriguing clash between two sides at opposite ends of the table - Atletico San Luis and Toluca. The match at the Alfonso Lastras Stadium on Friday night pits the struggling home side, mired in 14th place, against second-placed Toluca, who were flying high until a recent 5-1 thumping by leaders Club America. San Luis have managed just two wins from their last 13 outings in Mexico’s top flight, a poor run of form that has left them looking over their shoulders at the relegation zone.

The cauldron of the iconic Estadio Azteca is set to witness a tantalizing clash between two Mexican soccer heavyweights as Club América and Toluca lock horns in a potential title-decider on Saturday evening. With both teams level on points at the summit of the Liga MX standings, the stakes couldn’t be higher in this blockbuster ‘Clasico’ encounter. América, the record 13-time champions, have been a force to be reckoned with this season, their attacking prowess spearheaded by the in-form Alex Zendejas.
