    Our approach: favor the goals markets over the coin-flip result, with home edge as the tiebreaker.

    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.

      Columbus Crew vs Pumas UNAM prediction

      Columbus should have enough at home to navigate their final Phase One test, but expect Pumas UNAM to push them all the way in a game that tilts toward goals rather than a shutout. Prediction: Columbus Crew to win, 3-1.
