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. If the score is level after 90 minutes, the game goes straight to a penalty shootout, and the winner banks two points while the loser takes one. The top four MLS teams and the top four Liga MX teams then advance to the knockout rounds.

    FC Cincinnati vs Atlas FC prediction

    FC Cincinnati should have enough quality at home to see off an Atlas side that will push forward but lack the structure to keep the scoreline close. Prediction: FC Cincinnati to win, 3-1.
