Seattle Sounders vs Puebla Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Leagues Cup 2025

They are going to face each other for the first time.

Seattle Sounders are ready to lock horns with Puebla in the 2025 Leagues Cup quarterfinal. This is going to be an intense and high-stakes fixture, which will take place at Lumen Field.

Seattle Sounders have looked good this season, but they faced a setback when they lost their last fixture against Minnesota United. The Sounders did not perform up to their standards in their last fixture. Their performance in the Leagues Cup 2025 has been good enough and they will be looking for a win here.

Puebla are coming into this match after facing back-to-back defeats. In both of their last two games, their performance was below par. They will have to step up here if they want to stand a chance against their MLS opponents. It is not going to be an easy fixture for the Liga MX side.
