Leagues Cup: FC Cincinnati vs. Juarez Picks — Hosts to Continue Winning Sequence? (Aug 3)

FC Cincinnati have enjoyed an excellent 2025 campaign to this point, as they sit second in the Eastern Conference standings. They could yet have leading claims to win the 2025 Leagues Cup.

The MLS side were excellent in their opening night clash against Mexican heavyweights Monterrey, eventually claiming a dramatic 3-2 success. Evander, Luca Orellano, and Pavel Bucha all netted in the win.

Juarez should also come into this matchday two showdown in excellent form after dominating Charlotte to record a 4-1 success. Madson was the star of the show after netting twice. But, which team will maintain their 100% record?

FC Cincinnati vs. Juarez Picks

FC Cincinnati have been in excellent form across the last couple of months, but this should be an interesting challenge against a talented in-form rival.

Juarez boasts excellent quality in the final third, and we could foresee them scoring at least once. However, we still expected FC Cincinnati to claim an important win at TQL Stadium.
