Toluca, the dominant force in Mexican soccer in recent years, currently sits in fifth place in Liga MX after four matches in the Clausura tournament. Now, the Red Devils face the challenge of compensating for the absence of Alexis Vega in midfield. The reliable midfielder for Toluca and the Mexican national team is injured, missed the January season, and manager Mohamed will also be without him for Toluca's upcoming match against Cruz Azul.
In a generally solid performance from Toluca, the midfield trio they fielded in their recent goalless draw against Puebla consisted of Castro, Angulo, and Córdoba. Toluca was considered the clear favorite to defeat Puebla at the Estadio Cuauhtémoc, but it was thanks to six saves by Daniel Gutiérrez that Toluca incredibly failed to score. Toluca also drew 0-0 with Puebla in the previous match, at the university stadium, in the second leg of the last Liga MX final against Tigres. Even so, the Red Devils defeated Monterrey and Santos and sit fifth in the standings with the best defense, having conceded only one goal.

Our Deportivo Toluca FC vs CF Cruz Azul Prediction
Cruz Azul reacted quickly and in good form after losing their opening match against León, winning three consecutive league games. Three days after surviving and winning convincingly in the extreme cold against Vancouver FC, they arrive inspired, but with a long journey behind them, for the match against Toluca.
Cruz Azul displayed a ferocious attack in their last victory. Palavecino, Parradela, Rotondi, and Rodríguez scored in a lopsided match that they won 4-3 away against Juárez, in which Gabriel Fernández, after making two assists, was sent off, which is why he will not play against Toluca.
Our prediction for Toluca vs Cruz Azul is: Over 2.5 goals.
