Contents
Over 1.5 First-Half Goals
The foundation stone for our key Santos Laguna vs Toluca prediction this week is the head-to-head data. This rivalry is one of the most important ones in Mexico from a strict entertainment point of view. All of the last 10 games between Santos Laguna and Toluca ended with over 2.5 goals with most of the goals being scored in the first half of the match. We highly recommend you listen to our Santos Laguna vs Toluca prediction as it might be the best one we’ve got this week!
Santos Laguna to Win
Santos Laguna are the bookies’ favorites to win this one but it will certainly not be an easy task. Guerreros don’t have the head-to-head advantage over their rivals on Fridays. Toluca won five of the last 10 showdowns, two ended in draws, while Santos Laguna barely scraped three wins.
Regardless, our major Santos Laguna vs Toluca prediction this week will be for a home win as the support the players get at Estadio Corona these days is simply intimidating to the visiting squad.

Predicted Lineups, Team News, and Last Result
Santos Laguna
Sure, the 1-1 draw versus Atletico San Luis at Estadio Alfonso Lastras can only be described as a disappointing one but there is light at the end of the tunnel for coach Eduardo Fentanes. Santos Laguna were the superior team on the pitch, controlling the game for the better part of 90 minutes. With 26 shots and 62% possession, hardly anyone can argue that the Lakers were the better of the two teams. Their performance certainly convinced us to give coach Eduardo Fentanes’ boys the edge in our Santos Lagna vs Toluca prediction.
Predicted lineup – C. Lopez (GK), Doria, Campos, Rodriguez, R. Lopez, Vazquez, Cervantes, Vargas, Lozano, Preciado & Brunetta
Toluca
With three victories, three draws, and only one loss, you can fairly say that Toluca are doing very well in Clausura these days. The only loss that they’ve had was on the 6th of February against Monterrey. The match was held at Estadio BBVA and it didn’t go Toluca’s way at all as the home side had complete control of what was happening on the field with Arturo Gonzalez scoring an impressive first-half brace.
Predicted lineup – Volpi (GK), Angulo, Huerta, Mosquera, Garcia, Meneses, Ruiz, Baeza, Araujo, Gonzalez & Lopez

Player to Watch: Harold Preciado
With playmaker-in-chief Fernando Gorriaran now strutting his stuff at Tigres UANL, it’s up to Harold Preciado to step up and be the difference-maker for Santos Laguna. And the difference is something he’s delivering these days! Scoring goals is quite on-brand for him as he bagged four since the start of the Clausura. We can’t wait to see how well he’ll do against Toluca and we have to admit, Harold Preciado is a key part of our Santos Laguna vs Toluca prediction.
