Toluca team news and form: Toluca got lucky

It’s fair to say that Toluca didn’t exactly deserve the three points in the match against Juarez a couple of days ago. Paulinho scored a brace for his team, but Toluca’s players produced only three shots on target in 90 minutes of soccer.

Predicted lineup: Volpi (GK), Gallardo, Luan, Pereira, Garcia, Baeza, Ruiz, Meneses, Vega, Lopez & Paulinho

Player to watch: Georgios Giakoumakis

The former Atlanta United superstar opted for a change of scenery. He switched Major League Soccer for Liga MX, and yes, he is still looking for his first goal return for Cruz Azul, but he definitely has the required arsenal to get the job done. We trust he will help make our Cruz Azul vs Toluca predictions a success, as he was Atlanta United’s top finisher last season.

Second player to watch: Paulinho

If coach Anselmi wants to get anything out of this game, he’d have to be very careful with Paulinho of Toluca, as the latter already scored twice this season.
