Club Tijuana has achieved 5 W 3D 0L in 8 Mexico Apertura Home Games This Season, and this puts them at the very top half of the form table on home ground; While Toluca's away record in 9 games is: 4W 2D 3L this season, and this has also left them in the very top half in terms of away form.

When looking at Club Tijuana home performance in league points, Club Tijuana’s performance is greatest when looking at opponents in the mid 6 with an average of 3 points per game.

Tijuana has an exceptional record in only a single loss in the last 19 matches; and the Tijuana Stadio has become a fortress of sorts. Tijuana's home form and performances this season has produced a different brand of football in Mexico, setting the league alight, together with Club Leon (2 relatively new Apertura Clubs). Having beaten Toluca 1-0 in the previous encounter, Tijuana is in the mood to have a go at Toluca, and beating the leaders would certainly send a message to the other clubs and the South American Football Scene, which would certainly prove to be a motivating factor for a victory, especially on Home ground where their supporters have been very faithful and passionate throughout.

Toluca, on the other hand certainly won't be pushovers. Instead of sitting back and holding for a draw, as many expects and have predicted, I will not agree on this in particular. Toluca's style of play has never and will not be a team holding out for a result; even if they will want to or intentions, their style of play totally contradicts in all aspects. An attacking team, out-and-out, even when they are leading, Toluca, similar to Santos Laguna are a team which never fails to excite and deliver a match worth watching for the full 90 Mins.

Despite the records and history which is definitely against Toluca, records count for nothing in a match like this and especially in the mexican league as well, where records are easily broken. It all will boil down to how each team starts in the initial 15-20 Mins, and we can practically predict which way the match will move towards.

All in all, my prediction on the Asian Hdp: Toluca+1/4 : Draw : 1-1 : TG: 2-3 Goals

Till then, Enjoy the Match!
