Two clubs moving in opposite directions will meet in Liga MX play as Club América hosts Toluca on Saturday night. Although both are in pursuit of Chivas Guadalajara in league play, Club América just fell out of Concacaf Champions Cup play at the hands of Nashville SC, while Toluca cruised past the LA Galaxy to move one step closer to the final. While there is a difference in the quality of the sides that each played, with Club América's winless run now stretching on for five matches, pressure is building on manager André Jardine.

After winning three consecutive Liga MX titles between 2022-24, Club América's dominance has shifted to Toluca, who could also complete a three-peat of their own if they can run the table in the playoffs. Only three matchdays remain in the Clausura portion of the season, and Toluca are among a crowded group of five teams that can take the top seed into the playoffs. Alongside Pachuca, Cruz Azul, Pumas UNAM, and Chivas, this will be a photo finish, while, notably, América will be hoping that they can even secure a home playoff match.

When looking for a reason why Toluca has been so dominant this season, you need look no further than their attack, where Paulinho is setting the standard of what to expect from strikers in Mexico. With 15 goals in the Clausura portion of the season and a whopping 60 in 84 career appearances over two seasons for the club, he has driven Toluca forward.
