C.F. Monterrey vs. Toluca Betting Prediction

C.F. Monterrey Preview

In the quarterfinals, Domènec Torrent’s men knocked off the giants of Liga MX, Club América, 3-2 on aggregate. With the upset, C.F. Monterrey are now the lowest-seeded team remaining in the playoffs, finishing the 2025 Apertura regular season in fifth place overall. The Rayados have had moderate success over Toluca in years past when performing at Estadio BBVA, acquiring 10 victories across 17 matches in all competitions. 

Despite losing the match, German Berterame was the catalyst player over the weekend, extending the Rayados campaign. His tally late into stoppage time gave C.F. Monterrey the slim 3-2 lead on aggregate. Along with his dramatic heroics, the 27-year-old sniper halted his goalless run at no better time, snapping it at four games. Playmaking midfielder Sergio Caneles will need to be influential on Wednesday; his high-pressing talents are often the key to his club's success. The 34-year-old has hit the back of the net on 10 occasions in league play.

Toluca Preview

The defending champions are looking a little vulnerable at the moment, failing to replicate their earlier showings of overpowering their adversary. Their quarterfinals matchup saw them scrape by FC Juárez 2-1 on aggregate. Antonio Mohamed’s troops aren’t lighting up the scoreboard on a frequent basis of late; their previous six outings have seen the Red Devils come up empty-handed in three instances. 

Three-time league scoring champion Paulinho will be a key factor on Wednesday in the first leg. After accumulating 12 markers during the regular phase, the 33-year-old striker managed to score in the opening quarterfinals match. Most likely remaining on the sidelines in this contest is the crafty winger Alexis Vega. His eye for finding an open man will be missed once again, as Vega helped set up nine goals in the Apertura, leading the competition.

C.F. Monterrey vs. Toluca - My Pick

• C.F. Monterrey vs. Toluca pick: Both teams to score yes (-188) at bet365

Despite Toluca’s scoring inefficiencies in their last few runs of matches, we feel the visitors can get on the scoreboard, as they were the highest-scoring club in the regular season. Between the regular season and playoffs, the Rayados have yet to be left off the scorers’ sheet in all nine home matches so far. In recent head-to-head encounters, these two combatants have scored against each other, with five straight meetings seeing each side celebrate a goal.

The Rayados know they need to score on Wednesday to have any chance of knocking off Toluca on their home pitch in the second leg. C.F. Monterrey’s attacking minded gameplan should lead to a more open style of play as both teams look to capitalize on the counter.
