Pumas UNAM vs Atlanta United Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Leagues Cup 2025

This will be the first-ever meeting between these clubs.

Pumas UNAM are ready to lock horns with Atlanta United FC for the league phase fixture of the 2025 Leagues Cup. The interesting contest between the two clubs will take place at the Inter&Co Stadium.

In round 1 of the league phase, Pumas UNAM secured a draw against Orlando City, but later went on to win the match on penalties. They secured two points due to the draw. Pumas have not been in the best form, as their last few games have been concerning.

It will be interesting to see their tactics in the next game.

Atlanta United have been in poor form this season. In their opening Leagues Cup game, they tasted a 1-3 defeat at the hands of Necaxa. Their ball retention was decent enough, but because of the loose defence, they conceded two late goals.

The Five Stripes will now be looking to step up and get back to winning ways.

Players to Watch

Adalberto Carrasquilla (Pumas UNAM)

The 26-year-old midfielder from Panama is going to play an important role for Pumas UNAM. Adalberto Carrasquilla is coming in after securing a crucial equaliser in the last Leagues Cup fixture against Orlando City. This helped his side in securing two points.

He will be playing and controlling the midfield yet again.

Miguel Almiron (Atlanta United)

Miguel Almiron has not been on the scoresheet much this season, but his presence on the right flank becomes very dangerous for the opponent’s defence. The 31-year-old has nine goal involvements in 22 MLS games this season. However, he failed to score a goal for his team in the last game.

Almiron will be looking to step up here.
