The Xolos Tijuana vs Toluca Clausura 2018 Liga MX match will take place this Friday, April 27, 2018 (7:00 PM Pacific) at the Estadio Caliente. While Toluca has already secured their first place seed, Club Tijuana is obligated to win in order to reach the playoffs.
Xolos of Tijuana have had an interesting season in which at times they have demonstrated great defensive runs, and at others extreme offensive woes. The team coached by Diego Cocca is tied for the best defensive numbers in the Liga MX with only 12 goals against after sixteen matches. In contrast, they have only scored 17 goals which has them situated as the 4th worst offense.
The border team is in the fight to reach the playoffs where a win will most certainly have them meet their goal. While they will have to face the league’s best team, to their favor, Xolos has the home field advantage and Toluca will most likely field a mixed squad to rest players prior to the playoffs.
Although major media sites have greatly ignored Toluca‘s great success, the diablos rojos are in 1st place with an incredible 36 points. The team coached by Hernan Cristante is tied with Xolos for the best defense in the league, and that has allowed them to be the league’s greatest threat entering next week’s liguilla.
Xolos Tijuana vs Toluca Prediction
Xolos of Tijuana have the advantage entering this game as they will have the support of the home crowd, they have the pressure to win, and Toluca will field an alternate squad. While Tijuana has struggled offensively all season, at home they have had instances of good offense and Friday night will be no different. Futnsoccer predicts Xolos will dominate the game and will earn a ticket to the liguilla with a 2-1 win.
