Toluca
- Toluca are 10th in the CONCACAF Leagues Cup 2026/2027 with 6 points from 3 games.
- Antonio Mohamed has made the Diablos Rojos into a possession-based team that are capable of playing fast or slow, pressing or sitting compact depending on the situation.
- They have 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat in their last 5 games across all competitions, and their form has been consistently solid but not usually spectacular.
- Toluca's most recent 2 games, a 0-0 draw away to CF Atlante and a 2-1 away win over Gallos Blancos Queretaro in the Liga MX 2026/2027, should give the Fiera the confidence to know that they can upset Toluca in this game.
León
- Ignacio Ambriz's Leon have been on a hot streak, winning 5 games in a row, including a perfect 5-0-0 record in their last 5 matches in all competitions.
- León are playing fast, free-flowing, transition-heavy soccer, and their extra pace in the midfield gives them a huge edge in the vertical aspect of the game.
- León have beaten Inter Miami CF 3-2 away in the CONCACAF Leagues Cup 2026/2027, Necaxa 2-1 away in Liga MX 2026/2027, and most recently, CF Rayados de Monterrey 2-0 at home in Liga MX 2026/2027.
