What They're Saying
Toluca manager Jose Cardozo on his team's recent performance (via Esto): "We have played two bad games without intensity, without creativity. You can't play that way. You have to enjoy your football. The magic has to appear, so does the creativity of the player. We've lacked that recently."
Chivas Guadalajara manager Jose Manuel de la Torre on returning to Toluca (via Esto): "It's a strange feeling that I haven't been able to deal with yet. When I'm there tomorrow [Sunday], it'll hit me. But to return to a place where I won three titles will mean a lot to me."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Omar Bravo scored a brace in Wednesday's 2-0 victory over Morelia to become Chivas' all-time leading scorer with 123 goals. In four appearances this season, the 35-year-old has seven attempts.
Toluca's Projected Lineup (5-3-2): Talavera; Gamboa, Rojas, Galindo, Silva, Rodriguez; Velasco, Esquivel, Cuva, Rios; Bottinelli, Triverio
