Wednesday night Mexico will resume play in the Liga Mx-Apertura season after a short International break, newly promoted Lobos travel West to take on high flying Toluca in what should be an action packed, end to end game based on each teams style of play and personnel.

Liga MX - Apertura has been highly competitive to start the season with teams 1-9 in the table only separated by a total of 10 points, with both participants currently embedded in the top half of the table, Wednesday's match up is crucial in keeping pace with the upper echelon of the league.

Toluca enter this contest with an overall record of 5-4-2, having collected a total of 19 points that is good for 5th in the Apertura table.

The "Red Devils" have been extra tough at home, posting a suberb 5-1-1 record to go along with a +5 goal differential, making life on their opponents very difficult.

Coach José Saturnino Cardozo will look to continue guiding his squad to another strong home performance with their traditional attacking formation of a 4-2-3-1,  Cardoza will feature Colombian Striker Fernando Uribe who will be looking to add to his already impressive tally of 5 netted goals.

Toluca have averaged 2 goals per match in their last 6 home league games.

Toluca have been on a torrid home scoring pace, netting 11 total goals at the La Bombonera over just a 3 game span.

Toluca had 5 out of their last 5 home games end Over 2.5 Total Goals.

Lobos make the trip with plenty to be proud of having started the season strong tallying an overall record of 4-2-5, but they have truly exceled on the road putting together a highly impressive 3-1-2 record, along with a +3 goal differential.

‎

Lobos Buap earned promotion for the 1st time ever in the Club's 50 year existence by winning Mexico's 2nd Division Liga Ascenso, they will now shift their focus on remaining in the first division, and avoiding relegation as many new teams to top flight soccer leagues usually endure.

Rafael Puente Jr. has been unique in his formations, sending out a 3-1-4-2 which utilizes their wingers as primary attacking options, they will look to their own Colombian tally's man Julián Quiñones to spark their offense.

Lobos have been impressive on the road scoring an average of 1.7 goals per match during their last 6 road game.

Lobos have scored in 4 of their last 5 away matches, with 2 of their last 3 games going Over 2.5 Total Goals.

                                                                 Prediction:

Toluca have been absolutely dominant at home averaging 2 goals per game, and dispatching of their opponents on a regular basis.

Lobos will present their own set of challenges as they are full of energy, and will look to use their Wingers to break down Toluca's defense, but their style of play is susceptible to counter attacks with gaps in the back line.

Look for plenty of offense in this match up, with both teams in favor of going forward and putting crooked numbers on the board, I see both teams getting on the board based on their aggressive styles of plays, with the home team netting multiple goals.

                                                                     Plays:

                                       Over 1 -130 / 1.77 - Total 1st Half Goals

                                     Over 2.75 -115 / 1.87 - Total Full Game Goals

                                    Toluca - Team Total Over 1.5 -135 / 1.74 Goals
