FC Toluca vs CF Montréal Preview and Team News
FC Toluca Team News
Toluca managed to overcome the Columbus Crew’s obstacle in the first round of the Leagues Cup. They were 0-2 down before Paulinho’s brace sent the match to penalties, where the Mexican team won 4-2, securing their first win.
It was an attacking display from both sides. Toluca produced a 2.70 xG and recorded 21 shot attempts, ultimately finding a way to get the result. Given the tournament’s new structure, the club currently sit fourth in Group B with two points
Ahead of the clash, Toluca have no significant injury concerns. Head coach Antonio Mohamed should focus on improving defensive frailties, as his men allowed far too many errors in their penalty area last time out.
FC Toluca predicted lineup vs CF Montréal (5-3-2): Palomera; Barbosa, Mendez, Luan, Pereira, Gallardo; Angulo, Ruiz, Romero; Paulinho, Vega.
CF Montréal Team News
Montréal also had a difficult opening match, as they beat Mexican side Club León. German forward and top scorer Prince-Osei Owusu cancelled Rogelio Funes Mori’s first-half goal, and the Canadian team sealed a 7-6 victory in penalties.
Despite the score, Montréal were dominant, holding their opponents to just 0.36 xG and allowing only three shots. The real issue, however, was their poor conversion of dangerous chances, which could prove costly against an in-form Toluca squad.
Montréal also have no major injury concerns heading into this clash. Owusu’s performance will be crucial, as the German has amassed seven goals in the last seven appearances across all competitions.
CF Montréal predicted lineup vs FC Toluca (4-2-3-1): Sirois; Bugaj, Alvarez, Craig, Petrasso; Waterman, Loturi; Synchuk, Sealy, Clark; Owusu.

FC Toluca vs CF Montréal Prediction, Odds
- Pick: Toluca to Win
- Odds: +100 (Tonybet)
- Correct score prediction: FC Toluca 2-1 CF Montréal
Both teams had tough clashes, which they finished off in penalties. This encounter is expected to be a tight affair, with clubs choosing a careful approach, as any mistake could prove costly.
However, their remarkable comeback against the Columbus Crew should give Toluca a confidence boost. It’s not easy to return to the game, being 0-2 down. Antonio Mohamed’s men will look to capitalize on their last experience.
We can’t write Montréal off. They’ll likely get their chances, but the Mexican side should still be able to grab a victory in regular time.
FC Toluca vs CF Montréal Betting Tip
- Pick: Both Teams to Score
- Odds: -159 (Tonybet)
While we anticipate a diligent play from both clubs, there’s still a strong likelihood of goals on both ends. Five of Toluca’s last games have ended with both teams scoring, while the same result has happened in six of Montréal’s previous seven matches.
Additionally, it’s still early in the tournament, and both sides have shown defensive vulnerabilities, especially Toluca, who allowed 2.26 xG from the Columbus Crew.
An exciting duel between Paulinho and Prince-Osei Owusu will headline this fixture, as both were the X factors in their previous outings and are expected to lead the stage again.
