Monterrey vs FC Cincinnati Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Leagues Cup 2025

The previous confrontation between the two teams ended in favour of Rayados.

Monterrey are ready to lock horns with FC Cincinnati in the league phase fixture of the 2025 Leagues Cup. The interesting contest between the two clubs is scheduled to take place at the TQL Stadium.

After their FIFA Club World Cup 2025 run, Monterrey started their Liga MX 2025-26 season on a positive note. In their initial three league games, Sergio Ramos and company have secured a couple of wins and are looking in good touch. Rayados will be away from home, which might be a disadvantage for them.

FC Cincinnati are doing well in their current Major League Soccer campaign. They are also close to becoming the table toppers in the Easter Conference. Despite being at home, Cincy might be under some pressure as they have never secured a win against Monterrey.

It won’t be an easy affair for the hosts.

Kick-off:

• Location: Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
• Stadium: TQL Stadium
• Date: Friday, August 1
• Kick-off Time: 04:30 a.m. IST (Thursday, July 31; 11:00 p.m. GMT/ 07:00 p.m. ET/ 04:00 p.m. PT)
