Toluca vs América - Team news

The hosts make it to this match fresh off a 2-1 loss to Tijuana, which ended a four-game run without a loss in the tournament. Usually a solid team on both ends of the pitch, the squad led by Ignacio Ambriz has struggled to make their presence felt in front of goal, scoring 12 goals in 8 matches, leaving winger Juan Domínguez lead the attack with four goals. Surprisingly, the second best striker for Los Diablos is none other than goalkeeper Thiago Volpi, who is the team's official spot kick taker, and who has found the back of the net three times.

América make it to this tie while on a six-game streak without a loss (four wins, two draws). Their latest game ended in a 2-1 come-from-behind win over Querétaro, which eventually gave them the top spot in the league. The team's offense has thrived all season long, scoring 18 goals in the tournament and with three players (Diego Valdés, Julián Quiñones, and Brian Rodríguez) scoring four times each. The team still needs some coordination in defense, but the center-back duo of Igor Lichnovski and Ramón Juárez will have their third chance to play together this Sunday, giving André Jardine the kind of defense he is looking for to lead América to another title.

Unfortunately, both teams will have to deal with absences for this tie. Here is the list of unavailable footballers for this Liga MX clash.

Toluca: Jean Meneses (suspended).

América: Sebastián Cáceres, Nestor Araujo, Israel Reyes (injured).
