Toluca vs Club America Prediction
Toluca were in the game for most of the second leg but capitulated in the final quarter to leave themselves with a two-goal deficit to overcome. Home advantage could count in their favour, but being clinical in front of goal as well as compact at the back will be crucial to their slim hopes of progression.
Meanwhile, America's two-goal cushion gives them an edge, but it could also be a false dawn. Boss Andre Jardine is likely to keep his players focused on the task at hand, as complacency could be punished by Toluca. The Eagles, though, will fancy their chances of breaching Toluca's backline.
Expect the hosts to a narrow win with goals at both ends but America to advance on aggregate.
