INTER MIAMI FC VS. ATLANTA UNITED FC
- DATE: 25/07
- STADIUM: DRV PNK Stadium
- GROUP: South 3
- TIME: 19:30 hrs. ET / 17:30 hrs. CDMX
Lionel Messi and co. will not want a departure from last Friday’s emotions and definitely do not want to return to the soccer that put them rock-bottom of the Eastern Conference in MLS. That is why they will surely aim to pull out all the stops to get the victory and secure a place in the next phase of this Leagues Cup.
They will face Atlanta United, who will be making their debut in the tournament. We cannot forget that the team coached by Mexican Gonzalo Pineda has performed much better in the Eastern Conference and is currently in seventh place and will undoubtedly have a point to prove against their former coach, El Tata Martino.
CLUB SANTOS LAGUNA VS. HOUSTON DYNAMO FC
- DATE: 07/25
- STADIUM: Shell Energy Stadium
- GROUP: South 2
- TIME: 20:30 hrs. ET / 18:30 hrs. CDMX
The team from Comarca Lagunera are not in the best of form for their debut in this Leagues Cup. The team coached by Uruguayan Pablo Repetto has only achieved one victory since the start of LIGA MX, and in their last match, which was a friendly match against Sporting de Gijón, they lost 1-2.
On the other hand, Houston Dynamo FC is playing for its survival in this Leagues Cup, on the first day of the championship they couldn’t win against Orlando City, and although they managed to take the match to penalties, they ended up losing 4-5. On this matchday they will be playing for everything.
FC DALLAS VS: CLUB NECAXA
- DATE: 07/25
- STADIUM: Toyota Stadium
- GROUP: South 4
- TIME: 21:30 hrs. ET / 19:30 hrs. CDMX
If we look back at the last four meetings between these two teams, neither team has managed to get a victory. FC Dallas debuted in this Leagues Cup losing on penalties against Charlotte FC, but before that they drew with Seattle Sounders, lost against Colorado Rapids and were also defeated by D.C. United in MLS.
Club Necaxa is in the same situation, despite not having appeared yet in this Leagues Cup. In their last 4 matches they have lost against Athletic Bilbao in a friendly match, they also lost against Chivas, Xolos and the only point they got this season was in LIGA MX matchday 1 against Toluca FC.
MAZATLÁN FC VS. FC JUÁREZ
- DATE: 07/25
- STADIUM: Q2 Stadium
- GROUP: South 1
- TIME: 21:30 hrs. ET / 19:30 hrs. CDMX
Mazatlan FC is one of the few Mexican teams that started off on the right foot in this Leagues Cup, beating Austin FC and playing very good soccer in the process.
FC Juárez will be looking to repeat the great start it is having in LIGA MX, where it is in third place in the overall standings after pulling off a surprise on Day 1 of the Mexican championship, beating one of the favorites to be champion, Club América, at the Azteca Stadium.
Leagues Cup 2023 match between LA Galaxy and Club León, originally scheduled for Tuesday, July 25, has been rescheduled for Wednesday, July 26 at 7:30 p.m. local at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, CA. Club León’s preparations were significantly impacted due to a mechanical issue with the charter aircraft scheduled to transport the team to Los Angeles.
