Two clubs in opposite halves of the Liga MX table will do battle today in a league match between Toluca and León. The first-division clash scheduled for 1 p.m. ET will be held at the Nemesio Diez Stadium and can be live streamed free through Univision Deportes mobile.
Both clubs enter today's match riding the momentous wave created by continental success. Toluca booked advancement to the CONCACAF Champions League final after defeating Costa Rican outfit Alajuelense 3-0 on aggregate. For León, it was a victory in Brazil that allowed the club to reach the knockout stage of the Copa Libertadores.
Now, focus must be returned to league form.
Though Toluca comfortably sit second in the Liga MX table, the Red Devils have lost twice in their past three league encounters. León haven't fared any better. The Emeralds have played to three consecutive draws and remain three points out of a playoff spot.
Victory is of the utmost importance for both sides, but who will capture it when the final whistle blows? Tell us @SportsWN
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: León's Rafael Marquez has experienced a revival since joining the club in 2013. The former New York Red Bull has returned to the role of captain for both club and country and will look to lead León to another solid defensive outing in Toluca.

Club León's Projected Lineup (4-1-2-1-2): Yarbrough; Cárdenas, Gonzalez, Márquez, Magallón; Vazquez, Hernández, Loboa, Peña; Boselli, Montes
