Having fallen short of the quarter-finals last term in the Torneo Guardianes 2020 after Tigres beat them in the reclassification, Los Diablos Rojos are out to back up their Torneo Guardianes 2021 finish instead, having reached the last eight then.

Predicted Toluca starting XI: Garcia, Lopez, Ortega, Barbieri, Torres Nilo, Baeza, Vazquez, Sambueza, Castanesa, Canelo, Estrada.

Victory against Tijuana ensured the perfect start for former Mexico coach Herrera in his first season at Estadio Universitario, as the ex-America boss looks to take the Incomparables to the next level.

While Carlos Salcedo and Luis Rodriguez both remain on Gold Cup duty with Mexico, Andre-Pierre Gignac and Florian Thauvin have finished at Tokyo 2020 with France – but their manager has already confirmed they will not be rushed back.

Predicted Tigres starting XI: Guzman; Avalos, Ayala, Reyes, Venegas; Carioca, Pizarro, Vigon; Aquino, Gonzalez, Lopez.
