The leader Toluca will get into the house of the champion Cruz Azul next Saturday, in one of the most anticipated duels of the fourth day of the Apertura 2021 of Mexican football, which will start this Thursday with San Luis-Necaxa.
In the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City, 2. 240 meters above sea level, the Devils of the Argentine coach Hernán Cristante will try to maintain their perfect pace against an opponent who comes from less to more but this Wednesday he will play in the Concacaf Champions League and it remains to be seen if he recovers.

With protagonism of the Argentines Rubens Sambueza, who to his 37 years he has been in great shape, and Pedro Alexis Canelo, Toluca will go out to do damage against a Cruz Azul that will recover several of his absent players at the start of the championship.
It will be a game surrounded by expectations because Cruz Azul improved last weekend when it beat Necaxa and, with most of its starters available to play, it will be a good adversary to test the real level of Toluca, which adds triumphs against Juárez FC, Tigres UANL and Tijuana.
Matchday four will start with San Luis, Atlético de Madrid, in his stadium before the downcast Necaxa.
Led by Uruguayan coach Marcelo Méndez, San Luis add two wins, a draw and seven units, and is in second place, with better goal difference than Mazatlán, América and Atlas, with the same number of units.
Hand in hand of the Spanish strategist Beñat San José, Mazatlán has been one of the revelations of the start of the season; is third in attack and defense and will seek to confirm it on Saturday when he gets into the home of León, sixth in the table.
Led by Argentine Santiago Solari, America will visit Atlas on Sunday, which intends to take advantage of the fact that the Azulcremas will play on Thursday in the Concacaf Champions League and may not be rested.
Coach Miguel Herrera’s Tigres UANL were beaten 3-0 this Tuesday by the Seattle Sounders in the Leagues Cup and they will try to recover from the humiliation at Puebla’s home on Friday, when Juárez FC will host Tijuana.
