Key Factors to Consider

- Recent specific head-to-head details are limited, but Toledo's dominance in betting lines and season performance indicates historical or current competitive superiority.
- No specific injury reports were found for either team, suggesting typical squad availability, but the absence of significant injuries likely benefits Toledo given their stronger form.
