Deportivo Toluca will look to clinch the top spot in Group 6 of the CONCACAF Champions League 2013-14 when it takes on Caledonia AIA.
The Mexican club currently sits atop Group 6 with six points in two matches. The Mexicans opened their tournament with 3-1 win at home over the Trinidad and Tobago club back on Aug. 6. In that match, the team got goals from Edgar Benitez (24th minute), Miguel Almazan (30th) and Raul Nava Lopez in the 61st minute. Caledonia's Julian Wade scored in the 88th minute of play to give the team some pride. In their second game, Toluca took down Guatemala's Comunicaciones 2-1 thanks to goals from Nava Lopez in the 17th minute and Juan Carlos Cacho's penalty in the 27th.
With a win Toluca would sit comfortably atop the group with nine points and would only need a loss or draw from Comunicaciones in its next match to clinch the top spot in the group.
Meanwhile, Caledonia needs to win its final two games to have any hopes of qualification for the knockout rounds. After losing 3-1 against Toluca, Caledonia was shutout 3-0 by Comunicaciones at home. A draw would eliminate the Trinidad and Tobago side from the competition as well.
Prediction: Toluca may be playing on the round, but there is no doubt that they are the heavy favorites in this one. Caledonia looked unimpressive against Comunicaciones at home and likely stands little chance against the top team in the group. Expect a 4-0 win from Toluca.
