Toluca vs Guadalajara Match Preview
Guadalajara will venture into "El Infierno" when they step onto the pitch at the Nemesio Diez stadium, in search of another victory that would lift their momentum and strengthen their chances of making a deep playoff run.
The Chivas are exceptionally lifted after beating bitter rivals América 3-0 at the Estadio Omnilife last Sunday evening, in a match that far exceeded Guadalajara's wildest dreams and América's deadliest nightmares.
Striker Erick Torres will look to keep the Chicharito comparisons rolling against a defense that hit a rough patch in recent matches but is still stacked with important personnel that includes Diego Novaretti and Martin Romagnoli.
Meanwhile, a Toluca win would creep the Diablos closer to the playoffs, as they seem to have lifted themselves from the rut that had them shoved out of the Concacaf Champions League and nearly cost manager Serio Lugo his job.
Toluca have nott been able to beat Chivas since 2009, the last time the team traveled to the Nemesio Diez in search of a victory. That result was a 4-3 red win.
