Minnesota United vs Puebla Prediction & Betting Tips - Leagues Cup
by Joseph King | in Football Predictions
Group E of the new-look Leagues Cup gets underway with MLS club Minnesota United playing host to Liga MX side Puebla. With only two matches being played by each team in the group stage, a win likely sees a team through to the knockout rounds. Both teams will take on the Chicago Fire, the third team in the group, on different dates for their next fixture. Minnesota have experienced an up-and-down season so far in the 2023 MLS campaign. However, the return of star player Emanuel Reynoso in the beginning of June has given this team a real threat on the offensive side. They’re starting to put together some solid results and have now lost only once in their last five MLS fixtures. The Loons’ most recent outing ended in a 1-1 home draw with LAFC. Minnesota United were a bit unfortunate in that match to only walk away with a point as they were the more proactive team, creating four clear cut chances to LAFC's two.
Mexican side Puebla come into their Leagues Cup opener on a difficult stretch of form. They’ve not had a good start to the new season with a draw and two losses in their first three matches. Puebla’s most recent fixture resulted in a heavy 3-0 away defeat to America, their second straight loss. Dating back to the previous league season, Puebla have only tasted victory once in their last eight games. During that eight match stretch, Puebla also failed to keep a single clean sheet. This could be a difficult fixture for the Liga MX club as their away results in the 2022/23 campaign were overall quite poor. The Sweet Potatoers won only three of their 19 away fixtures, drawing seven and losing the remaining nine. What has been even more discouraging for Puebla has been the worrying stats that they have put up in their first three games. They have the highest expected goals against in the Liga MX at 9.2.

Our Minnesota United vs Puebla Prediction
Minnesota have a good shot to kick off their Leagues Cup campaign with three points against a struggling Puebla side. The key for the Loons will be Emanuel Reynoso as when he performs, the team generally puts up positive results. Luckily for the home side, Reynoso is in sparkling form. He’ll likely play a central role in determining the result for this encounter. At this price, we see a good bit of value in backing the hosts to claim the victory. They put together a strong performance against the defending champions in their last outing and should be able to continue forward with that momentum. Our Minnesota United vs Puebla prediction is for Minnesota to win.
