Leagues Cup: Seattle vs. Tijuana Picks — In-Form MLS Side to Maintain Winning Sequence? (Aug 6)

The Seattle Sounders have emerged as leading contenders for glory at this summer’s Leagues Cup. They could maintain their 100% record with a victory on MD3 against Tijuana.

The Sounders already appear to be in a strong position to secure a spot in the knockout stage, as they sit top of the standings following wins in each of their two matches.

Tijuana still have hopes of joining the Sounders in the next round, but they will require a victory in the final round of matches. However, their poor defensive record could be a clear issue in achieving their target.

Despite a lengthy injury list, the Sounders have been in excellent form at both ends of the field during the Leagues Cup this year.

Tijuana’s confidence will be low after shipping five goals against the Galaxy over the weekend, and a second straight defeat could be inflicted in Seattle this week.
