Preview: Mazatlan Hosts Toluca in Liga MX Clash

MAZATLAN, Mexico (Interstat) — Mazatlan seeks to reverse recent history against a struggling Toluca side when the teams meet in a Liga MX match Wednesday.

The game at Estadio de Mazatlan is scheduled for 9 p.m. local time (10 p.m. EDT).

Toluca (4-7-3) enters with momentum from the last head-to-head meeting, a 3-1 home win over Mazatlan on Sept. 27, 2025. However, Los Diablos Rojos are mired in a severe slump, winless in their last four league matches (0-3-1). That stretch includes a shocking 7-2 home defeat to Tijuana and a 2-1 loss to Club America last Saturday. Their defense has conceded 14 goals in those four games.

Mazatlan (2-6-6) has its own challenges, sitting near the bottom of the table and without a victory in its last five outings (0-3-2). It earned a 1-1 draw against Queretaro last Friday. Mazatlan’s form at home has been mixed, with a notable 4-2 win over Leon in early March followed by inconsistent results.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, Toluca is projected to win 2-1.

The matchup pits Toluca’s leaky defense against a Mazatlan attack that has scored more than one goal only once in its last seven matches. Toluca will look to rediscover its early-season form, which included a 3-2 win at Pumas UNAM and a 2-0 victory over Guadalajara in late February and early March.

Both teams will be keen for three points to improve their standing before their next fixtures. Toluca hosts Leon on Saturday, while Mazatlan travels to face Tigres UANL the same day.
