On Saturday evening, there's an interesting Liga MX fixture due to take place at Estadio Banorte, where Cruz Azul will host Toluca. This is a fixture between two high-ranking teams. The visitors currently top the table, but they had their confidence shaken last time out, losing by three goals to two on home soil, so now may just be the perfect time for the hosts, who've won their last two home games, to strike.
Based on the early lines available at Fanatics, Nicolás Ibáñez is worth betting on to score at odds of +200. The Argentine forward has looked hungry for goals in recent weeks, forcing himself into dangerous areas, shooting plenty, and more importantly, shooting accurately. He's Cruz Azul's highest scorer this term, averaging a chunky 0.47 goals per 90 minutes, so don't be surprised if he has a big say in front of goal here.

Our CF Cruz Azul vs Deportivo Toluca FC Prediction
The scorer of three Liga MX goals so far this term, Nicolás Ibáñez is clearly one of Cruz Azul's most threatening forwards. The Argentine averages 0.47 goals per 90 minutes, which is close to a goal every other game, and that's a very respectable rate for any striker. The visitors had their defensive sturdiness broken quite considerably last time out, so they may not arrive at Estadio Banorte feeling too confident, and if that's the case, Ibáñez could easily take advantage.
Courtesy of some very strong stats, the home-team forward looks too generously priced at odds of +200.
