My Prediction
Toluca by 2Well, butter my biscuit, let's simmer down and analyze this spicier than a jalapeno matchup between Toluca and Santos Laguna.
If you cast an eye, squinting or not, over the past intersections between both sides, it's been a back-and-forth rollercoaster. Santos Laguna managed to pull up a couple of wins over Toluca, but those Toluca boys bite hard when provoked! Remember that heart-stopping 5-0 wipeout? Fan-tastic!
Moving onto the regular season records, Santos Laguna, bless their jaunty temper, have managed a meager 2-1-10, while Toluca are sitting pretty with a fancy 8-3-2. It’s like pitting a kitten against an irate badger. No prizes for guessing who is the fuzzy wuzzy kitten here.
When it comes to recent matches, Santos haven't exactly been setting the pitch on fire left, right or center. They've been on the receiving end of more losses than a clumsy waiter drops dishes. Toluca, on the other hand, have been doing a fair impersonation of a steamroller. Hiccups against Club América aside, they've been trouncing opponents like there is no tomorrow.
Putting these all together, I would really need to have swallowed an "optimism pill" or be in dire need of a new pair of spectacles to shy away from Toluca in this contest. But a McCoy's hat-trick or not, they ain't gonna score a big bucket!
