Austin FC vs Club Puebla: Predictions, Picks, Odds & Lineups

Austin FC vs Club Puebla predicted lineups Leagues Cup

Predicted lineups: Austin FC are set up in a 3-4-3 and Club Puebla in a 4-2-3-1, with both probable XIs in full below.

In the US, the match streams on Apple TV via MLS Season Pass.

Kalshi prices the hosts at 52% to claim all three points, with Club Puebla at 26% and a penalty shootout scenario sitting at 23%. That spread reflects home advantage in a format where ties vanish—level after 90 means straight to penalties, with the winner banking two points and the loser still collecting one. This is Austin’s second of three Phase One games in the MLS-versus-Liga MX bracket. Kickoff at Q2 Stadium is set for 9:00 PM ET / 8:00 PM CT / 6:00 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. 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.
