Leagues Cup 2023 Round of 32 Matchday 1: Who’s Playing?

PREVIEW_

The knockout stage of Leagues Cup 2023 kicks off today Wednesday, 2nd August. We will have 4 knockout matches that will determine who advances to the quarter finals. Here's the lineup of the games:

INTER MIAMI FC VS. ORLANDO CITY

This match will be the start of the knockout stage in Leagues Cup 2023. On one hand, we have one of the favorites to win the title, Inter Miami FC, who have been improving every minute that Lionel Messi has played with the herons. On the other, we have Orlando City SC, who also finished as group leaders and will try to make a statement by defeating the favorites.

MAZATLÁN FC FC VS. FC DALLAS

The big surprise package of the group stage, Mazatlán FC, will face FC Dallas, who have been showing improvement as well, drawing their first match (which they won in penalties) and being decisive and efficient in the second one.

CLUB PACHUCA VS. HOUSTON DYNAMO

The Tuzos of Pachuca will make their debut in this Leagues Cup against a very familiar face. Héctor Herrera will try to knock out the team that saw him grow as a footballer and supported him in fulfilling his dream of playing in Europe. Undoubtedly, it will be an emotional match, but neither team will want to take their eye off the ball.

LOS ANGELES FOOTBALL CLUB VS FC JUÁREZ

The current MLS Cup champions make their debut in this competition at the knockout stage, against another surprise team of the tournament. Despite each having different tactical set-ups and playing styles, both teams are in great form, so we can expect goals for tonight.
