Leagues Cup: Club America vs. Real Salt Lake Picks — Mexican Heavyweights to Record Statement Win (Jul 30)

The opening round of Leagues Cup matches in 2025 continues on Wednesday evening, as one of Mexico’s leading clubs kick off their tournament.

Club America have avoided defeat in all three of their matches in Liga MX so far this season, and they played out a draw in their latest outing against Necaxa.

However, Real Salt Lake will take confidence from their recent form. Their 2-1 win over San Jose last weekend was their fourth victory in five matches in the MLS.

Club America vs. Real Salt Lake Picks

Real Salt Lake bring excellent recent form to the table this week after winning four of their last five matches in the MLS.

However, Club America have already shown their quality in Liga MX this season, and their prowess in the final third of the field could be too hot for the hosts to handle this Wednesday. Therefore, it is hard to overlook the Mexican heavyweights.
