CF Monterrey and Deportivo Toluca came into the match with both teams looking to keep pace in the race for the Liga MX Liguilla spots by staying in the top eight. A win would see both teams go fourth, while a loss would see Monterrey stay sixth and it would also drop fifth-placed Toluca down a spot. A draw at this point in the season would be a less than ideal situation for both clubs, as Querétaro, Tigres, and even Pachuca, Monarcas, and Leon could all realistically make up ground to make the final four weeks nerve-racking for the clubs ahead of them in the table.
