    Philadelphia Union vs Necaxa predicted lineups Leagues Cup

    A dead-even Phase One clash at Subaru Park, where home advantage may prove the difference between Philadelphia Union and Necaxa.

    bet365 prices Philadelphia Union and Necaxa at 50% apiece, reflecting a fixture with no clear edge on paper. That dead-heat read underscores the uncertainty of Phase One’s MLS-vs-Liga MX format, where the Union will be hunting two points from their second of three group games. Home advantage and the no-draws rule may tilt a narrow margin. Kick-off at Subaru Park is set for 7:30 PM ET / 6:30 PM CT / 5:30 PM MT / 4:30 PM PT on Sunday, August 9.

    How Leagues Cup Phase One works

    Every club in the Leagues Cup plays three cross-league games, MLS against Liga MX. There are no draws: level after 90 minutes and the tie goes straight to a penalty shootout, with the winner banking two points and the loser one. The top four from each league table advance to the knockout rounds.
