Toluca is looking to avoid making it three losses in a row, after the first leg defeat to LAFC, followed up by a 1-0 loss their last time out against Pachuca in the first leg of the Liga MX Clausura Quarterfinals. This club will not want to find themselves out of Champions Cup and Liga MX playoffs in the same week, so expect a team that will come out even more physical and tactically aggressive than in the first leg. They will look to push the issue at home, taking advantage of the atmosphere.
LAFC followed up their dramatic first leg win with an equally dramatic draw on the road in MLS action. To be fair, they played like a team that had one eye on this very match. If any club knows how important this moment is, it’s LAFC, the club looking to not just return to a Champions Cup final, but come away victors. First, they have to finish the job started in leg one, not just protecting the one goal aggregate lead, but adding to it. Slamming the door shut on any comeback hopes early. Los Angeles have the added motivation of knowing that not just advancing, but doing so with a win in the second leg, will grant them the massive benefit of hosting the Final match. That’s how much this one means.
