In this week 12 match, on Sunday Apr 3rd, Toluca will host Puebla at Estadio Nemesio Díez in a meeting of these two Liga MX teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 20 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. 11th placed Toluca is fresh off their 0-3 loss against América. Roger Martínez struck first for América in the 7th minute, then Diego Valdés added another in the 15th minute In the end, Toluca couldn’t muster any offence and América ran away with the shutout win. Toluca is looking for direction having 4 win and 5 losses in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Puebla recorded a 2-2 draw against Santos Laguna. Israel Reyes scored the first goal for Puebla in the 57th minute, then Martín Barragán added another in the 74th minute. Puebla should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 21 points in their last 10 matches.
On Nov 6th, Puebla hosted Toluca in their last match together. Puebla won by a score of 1 to 0. Christian Tabó struck first for Puebla in the 60th minute from the penalty spot, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster At the end of 90 a dissapointed Toluca couldn’t manage to score, and Puebla took the shutout win.
Puebla is glad to have Fernando Aristeguieta in top form. In the last 5 matches the attacker has scored four goals. Leonardo Fernández and Rivera Cuellar are the top scorers for Toluca in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
