Two clubs chasing the Apertura Liga MX title will do battle today in a league match between Toluca and Chivas Guadalajara. The first-division clash scheduled for 8 p.m. ET will be held at the Estadio Nemesio Diez in Toluca and can be live streamed here free via the Univision Deportes mobile app. Additional TV coverage can be found on Univision Deportes.
Toluca manager Jose Cardozo had this to offer ahead of today's league encounter (via Futbol Univision): "Toluca has always worked well. It has a history. It's a serious club that has always put forth effort and always works to win and I think it's finally earned its place [in Liga MX]."
"I think it's important that we're happy to be a part of a great institution," he added. "That we've been a part of this grand project."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Chivas Guadalajara's Fernando Arce has created a club-best 16 chances in nine appearances and has two goals to his credit. Improving on his putrid 34 percent duel rate will be the key to unlocking the Toluca defense this evening.
Toluca's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Talavera; Silva, Ponce, Rojas, Diaz; Ortiz, Martinez; Lobos, Esquivel, Benitez; Velazquez
Chivas Guadalajara's Projected Lineup (3-5-2): Rodriguez; Alvarez, Rodriguez, Araujo; Martinez, Arce, Sanchez, Solis, Zaldivar; Bravo, Fierro
