Necaxa host Toluca on Saturday February 21 at Estadio Victoria, with a Clausura<\/a> table-jump on the line for both sides at 8PM ET. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toluca arrive as one of the division\u2019s hardest teams to beat, sitting fourth after six matches, while Necaxa are ninth and chasing the pack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tension is simple: Necaxa have fire in their game, but they give you chances; Toluca don\u2019t give you much at all. Toluca have conceded just two goals in six Clausura outings, and that defensive edge shapes every betting angle in this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If Necaxa want to turn this into a shootout, they\u2019ll need to land the first punch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toluca (Moneyline)<\/strong><\/td>\n-160 @ Bet365<\/a><\/td>\n\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nToluca travel like a side that knows how to manage matches, not chase them. They\u2019re still unbeaten in the Clausura after six games, and they\u2019ve allowed only two goals in that spell. Keep it tight, stay patient, and Toluca have the tools to nick it.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Over 2.5 Goals<\/strong><\/td>\n-138 @ Bet365<\/a><\/td>\n\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nNecaxa don\u2019t do quiet starts to tournaments; they play open, and games follow them. They\u2019ve scored nine goals in six Clausura matches, and they\u2019ve also conceded eight, which keeps the door open for a messy, swingy night. If Toluca score first, this can break into the kind of match Necaxa can\u2019t resist.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Both Teams To Score \u2014 Yes<\/strong><\/td>\n-133 @ Bet365<\/a><\/td>\n\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nNecaxa have enough punch to test anyone at home, and their recent results show they\u2019re back in the habit of finding goals. They put four past Atl\u00e9tico San Luis, and Toluca\u2019s attack has a knack for doing just enough to win close games. One moment each can cash this.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
