Toluca:

Surely the Toluca is aware of its situation in the Cup of Mexico, since it needs to show a reaction in its last two games if it wants to pass phase, so much that nothing beyond the three points are of interest at this time. It is very true that it will be quite difficult to pass through his current adversary, but he hopes to use the local factor as his ally, since this way he would have more chances of obtaining a good result.

From the beginning of the game, the Toluca will need to shorten the spaces of the visitors, knowing to make firm defensive markings and attacking with security, being that it will not be able to waste the opportunities of goal that it manages to create. Of course it is not only with the attack you have to worry about, but with your defense as well, since in order to achieve your goals it is important that you are well organized and do not make mistakes.

Santos Laguna:

The moment lived by Santos Laguna is very good and proof of this is that he is in the leadership of his group with enough rest, being that even with a defeat in this game he would not leave the top of the table. Of course he will not want a defeat and even away from home he will try to show his rhythm of play and prevail on the field, because if he adds all three points he will be guaranteed in the next phase.

The owners of the house need a positive result and they should try to press from the initial minutes, therefore, they should be very attentive in the defensive markings, to balance the game. At that time Santos Laguna may risk a little more in search of his goal. We know that there are quality players in the team and that if the ball works well the opportunities to balance the networks and win will increase a lot.
