Club Puebla vs Toluca: Predictions, Picks, Odds & Lineups

Club Puebla vs Toluca predicted formations

Club Puebla host Toluca at Estadio Cuauhtemoc on Friday, September 4 (9:00 PM ET / 8:00 PM CT / 6:00 PM PT).

No fresh fitness concerns have been flagged for either dressing room ahead of this one, so both head into the Cuauhtemoc close to full strength. Club Puebla will lean on Eduardo Mustre Torres, who has scored 3 goals in 286 minutes, and Kevin Andres Velasco Bonilla, who has created 11 chances from 13 shots in 435 minutes this season. Toluca’s threat centers on Helio Junio Nunes de Castro, who has managed 13 shots and 9 created chances in 249 minutes, with Jorge Roberto Diaz Price and Ernesto Alexis Vega Rojas also among the scorers.

Both sides go into this level on 10 points from 5 games, but Toluca’s +4 goal difference against Club Puebla’s +2 hints at the extra edge in the final third. Club Puebla’s home form has been resilient – a 3-2 win over Santos Laguna either side of a draw with Chivas – but Toluca have shown they can grind out results too, following a scoreless draw at Atlante FC with a win at Queretaro FC. Expect a tight, low-scoring watch at the Cuauhtemoc, with the visitors’ extra cutting edge the difference.
