C.F. Monterrey vs. Toluca Betting Prediction

C.F. Monterrey Preview

During the 2025 Apertura, Domènec Torrent’s crew wrapped up the year with the fifth-best record, obtaining 31 points. The strong suit of Los Rayados in the previous term was the displays they put on at home. The club excelled at Estadio BBVA, going unbeaten in eight regular-season home games while making life difficult for the opposition, conceding only a team total of nine goals.

One of the key backbones for Monterrey’s defence departed this winter, as the legendary defender Sergio Ramos is off to start a new chapter. The decorated Spanish international's absence will leave a void on the backline, as the now 39-year-old averaged 4.8 clearances per match. Los Rayados added a solid member to rush up the wings of the pitch, bringing in Luca Orellano from FC Cincinnati. The playmaking winger appeared in 35 games across all competitions in 2025, registering three goals and six assists.

Toluca Preview

Back on the touchline, Antonio Mohamed’s men will try to pull off a third straight league crown with the journey starting this weekend. The Red Devils have been the envy of the Liga MX, which saw their 2025 Apertura campaign finish with a league-best 37 points. Another stat that Toluca dominated over its adversaries was hitting the back of the net, as its steady production on the scoreboard led to 43 goals during the regular season.

The club retained most of its star power, which includes last season's Golden Boot winner, Paulinho. Highlighting in just over 1500 minutes between regular season and playoffs, the lethal striker catalogued 15 goals. Alexis Vega should have another impactful season with the 2026 FIFA World Cup on the horizon; the El Tri member will want to make sure his level of play doesn’t drop off. In 14 league matches during the 2025 Apertura, the 28-year-old managed to stockpile 13 goal contributions.

C.F. Monterrey vs. Toluca - My Pick

• C.F. Monterrey vs. Toluca pick: C.F. Monterrey moneyline 3-way (+105) at bet365

This brush-up between these two heavy hitters in Mexico's top-flight division should be a scrappy affair, especially since they recently clashed in the Apertura playoffs. We do lean towards backing the home side in this fixture as Toluca have had turbulent moments visiting Estadio BBVA in recent times.

In the initial 18 visits, the Red Devils have only walked away with three points in their back pocket twice. We feel maybe in a home opener, and the revenge factor of being bounced out by this very same opponent, C.F. Monterrey has the extra incentive to prove they are worthy title contenders too.
