León v TolucaMatch centre →León meet Toluca at Estadio León on Saturday with a chance to move above the visitors. León are fifth with 21 points from 13 games, while fourth-placed Toluca have 22 from the same number of matches.
Form guide
León have scored 20 goals and conceded 17 across their 13 league games. Toluca have been more productive in attack with 28 goals, but their 18 conceded suggests there is little between the teams' defensive records.
Players to watch
Daniel Arcila and José Alvarado each have four goals and one assist for León. Federico Viñas has five goals in nine games for Toluca, making him a threat to watch. Helinho offers another route to goal, with three goals and four assists in 11 appearances.
How it could be decided
Limiting Toluca's attacking threat looks an important challenge for León, given the visitors' higher goal total. At the other end, Daniel Arcila and José Alvarado could help León test a defence that has conceded slightly more than their own.
Three things to watch
- • León can move above Toluca with a win.
- • Toluca have scored 28 league goals to León's 20.
- • Federico Viñas has five goals in nine games.
