Toluca
- Toluca are unbeaten in their last five Liga MX matches, taking notable wins over Chivas (2 - 0), Pumas (3 - 2) and Juárez (3 - 1), and currently sit inside the top three of the Clausura standings.
- Paulinho leads the lineup as one of the Clausura’s top scorers, while Alexis Vega provides Toluca with a dangerous wide threat.
- Hugo González has been a solid presence in goal, allowing Toluca to boast one of the best defensive records in the league.
- In the absence of midfield maestro Marcel Ruíz, who will miss the trip to Querétaro with a long-term injury, Mohamed has plenty of depth to call upon and the team should be able to take the field with confidence.
Gallos Blancos Querétaro
- Querétaro have not won any of their last five competitive matches and sit near the bottom of the Clausura standings with just 7 - 8 points after Jornada 12.
- His strategy is pragmatic, often keeping a compact 4-4-2 and focusing on keeping the team organised defensively, pressing selectively, and looking to hit opponents on the break.
- Mateo Coronel is Gallos’ focal point in the final third, providing both goals and assists, but he is not getting enough service.
- Alí Ávila offers a direct threat up top, but the overall lack of quality in the side has prevented him from really getting a foothold in the game.
