Mexico Apertura: Santos Laguna – Toluca 17/07/2025
Betting on goals
The second half of the Mexican league season is underway—and it’s kicked off with lots of goals and wide-open matches. I expect more of the same in this Santos vs. Toluca clash.
The hosts looked much improved in their opening game and are clearly aiming for a better season after a couple of disastrous ones. The visitors, defending champions Toluca, also started strong—playing good football and winning at home with three goals, although they did allow several chances to visiting Necaxa.
This one looks set to be an open game, with Santos likely pushing forward and getting on the scoresheet, while Mohamed’s Toluca side, full of attacking talent, rarely fails to find the net.
Another both teams to score bet looks like a strong option here, with the match also a solid candidate for over 2.5 goals—and even a play on the away win for the favorites.
