Liga MX Clausura action returns as Toluca host Cruz Azul at the Estadio Nemesio Diez on Monday morning.
Toluca have bounced back superbly from their 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Pumas UNAM on the opening day. They picked up a hard-earned 1-0 victory over Atletico de San Luis in their last game, with Camilo Sanvezzo scoring the sole goal of the game just four minutes after kickoff.
Toluca sit seventh in the league table with nine points from four games. They will now be looking to continue their winning run when they play next week.
Cruz Azul suffered their first defeat of the Clausura campaign last weekend as they lost 2-1 to Club Necaxa.
Juan Escobar gave the Sky Blues the lead from the penalty spot before a two-minute double from their opponents scored two goals in the final 10 minutes of the game to pick up all three points.
Cruz Azul sit fourth in the league table with 10 points from five games. They will now be looking to return to winning ways when they travel to Toluca on Monday.
