Toluca
- Toluca have been all over the place in the opening fixtures of the Liga MX 2026/2027 season, losing their last 2 fixtures, but Alexis Vega has kept the spark alive with 2 goals in his last 5 appearances and 1 in 2 Liga MX 2026/2027 outings.

- Martín Varini's Necaxa side are pressing up high, playing quick and vertical and can change the shape from a 3-4-3 to a 3-4-2-1 to win the ball in dangerous positions.
- They are in 4th place with 6 points from 2 matches while Toluca are 7th with 3 from 2.
