We said: Cruz Azul 2-1 Toluca

 Having both failed to win their opening games of the season, Cruz Azul and Toluca will head into the weekend in search of a morale-boosting result and this makes for an exciting watch. Los Celestes' home advantage makes them slight favourites and we fancy them to pick up all three points, albeit by the odd goal. Read more.
