Toluca Defense Struggling

Toluca got off to a hot start in the early part of the season, only losing once in their first 10 games, with six victories. Since then, they have lost their last two games by an aggregate of 5-1, including a shutout.

A massive reason for the success at the beginning was because of the team’s strong attack. It was headlined by Leonardo Fernandez, who has four goals and five assists, tied for second in the most goals+assists in Liga MX.

Statistically, the attack performed as well as some of the best teams, averaging 1.6 goals per game. Of the team’s four wins, they scored three goals and have only been held goalless twice.

The defense has been an evident weakness, as they have struggled to keep clean sheets with just one, tied for the fewest in Liga MX. After allowing four goals in their previous match, the defense seems to be crumbling headed into their match with Guadalajara.

Guadalajara on the Rise

Guadalajara has nearly completely turned their season around in the last three games. They were held winless in the first eight games but only lost twice. The defense was holding the team together during this time, allowing more than one goal just twice.

The last three games have featured a remarkable burst of offense, with Guadalajara winning them all by an aggregate 8-1 scoreline, including one own goal by a keeper. This sudden turn of form has moved them into seventh place. They are still six points behind Toluca, making it fitting they will play each other next.

Two of the wins came against teams below them on the table, except for a surprise against Monterrey, the leader in points right now. Guadalajara held on all game until scoring in the 80th minute to complete the massive upset.

That is how the entire season has gone. Guadalajara has the second most draws in the league with six and averages the second-fewest goals per game at 0.7. The team was waiting for the attack to contribute and it finally has.
