Guadalajara vs Toluca Match Preview
José Manuel de la Torre's team will venture into the Estadio Omnilife for the first time since the ex Guadalajara boss was confirmed as the new Mexico national team skipper earlier this month.
"Chepo" coached Guadalajara from 2006 to 2007, earning the team its eleventh championship in the modern era before being bounced due to a spat with current star Adolfo Bautista.
Now, in Toluca, de la Torre is leading an assault on Chivas' league leading eleven titles, earning Toluca's ninth and tenth badge ornaments in the past two years.
The now and future Tri boss can continue to harm his old team with a win in Guadalajara, which would practically eliminate Chivas from this season's playoff picture. Whomever hosts has won the last two matches between these clubs.
Guadalajara vs Toluca Match Report
Chivas racked up their league-leading eighth draw this Wednesday, in a match that was a faithful reflection of their season so far: punchless and uninspiring.
The Guadalajara team continued their poor exploits at home, as they have only been able to obtain 10 of a possible 24 points at the Estadio Omnilife.
Meanwhile, Jose Manuel de la Torre's Toluca slipped to seventh overall in the standings and third within their group, product of an inferior goal difference in comparison to fellow group dweller América.
Chivas have now won just one of their last seven matches and are in serious danger of missing the postseason with just 17 points on the campaign.
