The Toluca vs Monterrey match will be broadcast on TUDN and Univision on Saturday, January 18, at 8:00 PM ET / 5:00 PM PT. From the Estadio Nemesio Diez, the Diablos Rojos, led by Antonio Mohamed, aim to solidify their position at the top of the table after a strong debut. Meanwhile, Monterrey, under Martin Demichelis' guidance, seeks to showcase their offensive strength and address errors from the previous tournament. Learn how both teams are performing and what to expect from this clash.

How Is Toluca Performing?

Toluca kicked off the Clausura 2025 with a decisive 4-2 victory over Tijuana as visitors. Under Antonio Mohamed's leadership, the Diablos Rojos displayed highly effective offensive play, capitalizing on their opponent's defensive errors. Their attack was dynamic and precise, excelling in counterattacks and finishing in the opponent’s area. However, the two goals conceded highlight areas for improvement in their defensive line.

In the Apertura 2024, Toluca had a solid performance, though they couldn’t advance beyond the quarterfinals. They stood out in matches like the 5-0 win over Puebla and the 3-1 victory against Necaxa. However, consecutive losses to America in the quarterfinals revealed vulnerabilities. Mohamed has focused on maintaining their offensive intensity while addressing defensive mistakes that cost them crucial games.

How Is Monterrey Performing?

Monterrey, coached by Martin Demichelis, began their Clausura 2025 campaign with a 1-1 draw against Puebla. The Rayados showed midfield solidity but lacked finishing in attack. Despite controlling much of the game, they managed only one goal in the first half, while their defense conceded a late equalizer, costing them two valuable points.

In the Apertura 2024, Monterrey finished as runners-up, falling to America in the final. Throughout the tournament, they demonstrated offensive prowess with victories like the 5-1 win over San Luis and the 4-0 triumph against Atlas. However, their defensive inconsistencies were exposed in key matches, including the second leg of the final against America. This tournament offers an opportunity for redemption and a chance to prove they can maintain the consistency needed to secure the title.
