Latest Toluca vs New York City football prediction
Toluca continued to show a slow start in the second round of the Leagues Cup group stage, but once again they successfully turned things around, winning both matches they played in the tournament, despite being behind in both matches.
Remarkably, Antonio Mohamed's side have won their last five competitive games despite conceding first. Their only defeat last month came when they scored the opening goal (a 3-4 loss to Tigres).
Despite winning all two group stage matches, Toluca still need a victory in 90 minutes on Tuesday to ensure a ticket to the Leagues Cup quarter-finals.
Since the tournament's group stage began in 2023, Toluca have never failed to score in any match and have always scored two or more goals per game.
All five of their regular-time group stage wins came when they scored in the first half.
The Diablos Rojos have won seven of their nine meetings with MLS teams in the Leagues Cup, and have never lost in the group stage.
New York City continued to perform the same familiar “script” in 2025 – often winning right after a loss.
Under coach Pascal Jansen, the team has not lost two consecutive domestic matches since March–April, and has also never lost two consecutive Leagues Cup matches.
Before the third match, NYCFC has 3 points, and they almost have to win if they want to secure a place in the next round, avoiding being eliminated from the Leagues Cup group stage for the first time.
The Boys in Blue have won their last five competitive games when scoring two or more goals, and are unbeaten in eight consecutive games with that record.
They are also unbeaten in their last nine matches in all competitions when scoring the opening goal, only drawing once (a 1-1 draw with Sporting Kansas City).
However, NYCFC have never beaten a Mexican team in regular time at Yankee Stadium in the Leagues Cup. Last season, they beat Queretaro on penalties.
