Toluca dominant at home against Tigres | OneFootball

Toluca and Tigres will star in one of the most anticipated matches of the 3rd day of the Apertura 2025, facing off at the Estadio Nemesio Diez, a historically complicated venue for the regiomontanos.

This clash brings together the current Liga MX champion with one of the most regular teams in Mexican football in recent years.

Home advantage plays a key role in this rivalry: Tigres have only won 6 times in Toluca in short tournaments, while the Diablos Rojos have 20 wins and 7 draws in their 33 matches in the capital of the State of Mexico.

The scarlet hegemony is also reflected in the total number of official matches, with 33 victories for Toluca and 18 for Tigres, and 19 draws in 69 games.

The last time the felinos managed to win at the Nemesio Diez was on January 27, 2019, during the 4th day of the Clausura that year.

Since then, more than six years have passed and seven consecutive games without the regiomontanos being able to add even a point in that scenario.

The most recent precedent is a clear reflection of that trend: in the second leg of the Clausura 2025 semifinals, Toluca defeated Tigres with authority by 3-0, eliminating them from the tournament.
