Toluca (home)
- Toluca are on a roll with their eyes firmly set on another deep Clausura run in Liga MX as the defending champions enter the middle stages of the 2025-2026 season.
- Antonio ‘Turco’ Mohamed’s side are second in the table with 21 points from nine matches and another win this Sunday would see them reinforce their place at the top of the table.
- A win against Juarez could be enough to extend their unbeaten run to ten and put the rest of the Liga MX to the sword that they are serious about their crown.
- Their control, patience and sudden verticality in transition when they break through the defensive lines were a thing of beauty.
- Mohamed’s men have been more than just good, they have been ruthless at home with consecutive clean sheets.
Juárez (away)
- Juárez are still searching for consistency as Pedro Caixinha builds his side and they are nowhere near their potential at the moment.
- Juárez are 15th in Liga MX and will be looking for every point they can get to keep pace with the teams in the top-eight playoff race, but it will be tough against Toluca.
- Pedro Caixinha and his players play a direct, aggressive and high-pressing style where the ball is won high up the field and they transition to attack quickly via the wings.
Head-to-Head
- Toluca and FC Juárez have played 17 matches in all competitions with each taking six wins and five draws in a perfectly even head-to-head record.
- Toluca are undefeated in the last four meetings, winning 2-1 and 2-0 in their two most recent Liga MX clashes.
Key Players
- Paulinho remains Toluca’s biggest star and after his decisive goal against Pumas, the Brazilian will again be the main focus of attention at the Estadio Nemesio Díez.
- Helinho, Jesús Angulo and Jesús Gallardo have chipped in with goals and assists, but Paulinho is the goal poacher that can hurt anyone on his day.
- Rodolfo Pizarro is the creative hub and Óscar Estupiñán the main goal man when fit.
