Leagues Cup: Necaxa vs. Atlanta Picks — United’s Winless Sequence to be Extended? (Jul 30)

Atlanta United have endured a miserable MLS campaign in 2025, and their recent form raises questions surrounding how long they will be involved in the Leagues Cup this season.

United have failed to win in their last eight MLS matches. However, it could be worth noting that their only defeat in their previous six was suffered on home soil against Charlotte on July 19.

Necaxa have made a fairly reliable start to the Liga MX season this term, winning once in their opening three matches and suffering just a single defeat. Last time out, they played to a credible 1-1 draw against Club America.

Necaxa vs. Atlanta Picks

It is worth noting that despite a long winless run, Atlanta United have been tricky to beat across the last couple of months.

Necaxa have been progressive across the opening weeks of the Mexican season, and plenty of positives can be taken from their recent draw against Club America. But, an interesting betting angle could be the tie on Wednesday evening.
