The Leagues Cup enters the quarterfinals stage, featuring two big contenders: Seattle Sounders for the MLS side, and Puebla representing Liga MX.
In this match, we will be watching the Seattle Sounders, who have emerged as the top-performing team in the competition so far, having achieved a perfect record with three wins in the first phase of the cup. Now, they aim to demonstrate their case to be the leading team in the quarterfinals.
Puebla, an underdog from Liga MX, has struggled in the regular season but surprisingly reached the quarterfinals.
This clash is bound to be pretty interesting, and we can’t wait to see, as we believe the top-looking MLS is going to shine through, so we are eager to enter the Leagues Cup Quarterfinals stage.

Why Bet on the Seattle Sounders?
The Seattle Sounders are the only team in the Leagues Cup that managed a perfect 3-win campaign, with wins over Cruz Azul, Santos Laguna, and Club Tijuana, scoring 11 times and conceding twice.
This has been their competition to showcase on, and we think they are simply on a strong roll and hard to stop.
They come in with exceptional confidence, goal-scoring form, and group-stage dominance. Their offensive firepower, combined with control and consistency, makes them a strong contender for winning the Leagues Cup.
Why Bet On Puebla?
Puebla advanced with six points after two wins and a defeat. They managed respectable victories over New York City FC and CF Montreal, but also suffered a heavy 3-0 loss to Columbus Crew.
Puebla is the big underdog in this clash, as they have done a pretty good job overall when it comes to the Leagues Cup. However, the team has been awful during the regular Liga MX season, so we believe they will have a tough time when they face the top-placed MLS team in the Leagues Cup.
Though lacking form and pedigree compared to Seattle, Puebla brings the underdog edge and a drive that can unsettle favorites. Their surprise quarterfinal spot showcases their capacity to upset expectations. If they absorb early pressure and capitalize on set pieces, they could make this match competitive.
