Toluca approaches their next Liga MX fixture riding a wave of impeccable form. Ignacio Ambriz's side host Santos Laguna this Saturday at the Estadio Nemesio Diez buoyed by five consecutive wins and top spot in the overall standings.
Their last outing was a narrow 0-1 win away to Puebla this past Wednesday, secured by a 69th-minute own goal from José Pachuca. That result cemented a streak of successes that includes big home victories like the 5-2 against Atlas and the 4-0 over FC Juárez. The attack has been key, with 18 goals scored and only six conceded, and Uruguayan forward Federico Viñas leading the way with three goals in six appearances.
A struggling opponent
Santos Laguna, in contrast, are going through a tough spell. The Warriors sit in 17th place with just six points and arrive from a narrow win over Juárez, which interrupted a run of three matches without a victory. Their three-defender system, with Carlos Acevedo in goal, will try to stop a Toluca side that has shown devastating effectiveness at their fortress. Recent history favors the hosts, who will look to leverage their positive momentum to stays at the summit.
Toluca's starting lineup against Puebla, featuring Luis García in goal and a back four of Diego Barbosa and Brian Méndez, is likely to see some adjustments.

The match is scheduled for Saturday, September 21st at 19:00 local time.
