Atlanta United vs Cruz Azul Prediction and Betting Tips

Publish date: 2024-04-21

Atlanta United will host Cruz Azul at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Saturday in another round of the 2023 Leagues Cup.

The home side have had mixed results in the Major League Soccer this season and were unable to avoid defeat in their Leagues Cup opener on Tuesday. Coming up against a Lionel Messi-led Inter Miami, the Five Stripes succumbed to a 4-0 defeat, finding themselves four goals down well before the hour mark.

Cruz Azul have endured a torrid start to their Liga MX campaign and had hoped for better luck on the continental stage but could not manage that either. They were beaten 2-1 by Inter Miami in their group opener and had looked set to be headed towards a draw before Lionel Messi scored a brilliant free-kick to clinch the points for the Herons.

Both sides sit second and third in the group table respectively with zero points but know that whichever team comes out on top on Saturday will advance to the knockout stages of the competition.
