Minnesota United vs Atletico San Luis Prediction & Picks - Leagues Cup

Prediction published on 8/6/25, 5:13 PM  by Carlos Zabala in Leagues Cup Picks

The betting odds indicate that Minnesota United is one of five teams in Wednesday's Leagues Cup matchday with an implied probability of winning greater than 50%. Due to the way the tournament was constructed for this edition, most teams arrive either directly eliminated or, as is the case with Atlético San Luis of Mexico, with a minimal chance of reaching the quarterfinals of the next round. Even for this reason, Minnesota United, with 4 out of 6 possible points, is not among the top four and needs all 3 points to advance to the next round.

Even so, the Minnesota United "Loons" enter with a good chance of qualifying, and without any qualms after drawing against the Mexican powerhouse América, having started as underdogs in the betting. They then lost a penalty shootout, which América took impeccably, and Minnesota United missed only on its eighth penalty. Minnesota United's first half against América was close to perfection in a setup that the Liga MX team hadn't expected. In regular time, the match ended 3-3, with Atlético San Luis being Minnesota's remaining opponent in the group stage.

Atlético San Luis took 2 of a possible 6 points; in the second match, star player Joao Pedro emerged to temporarily tie the game against Real Salt Lake at 1-1, which ultimately ended 2-2 and San Luis won on penalties.
