Two struggling teams that also started poorly in the Leagues Cup will face off in the tournament's second match, which brings together Liga MX and MLS teams, and the loser will be eliminated. Tijuana lost to Austin FC in Texas, and San Diego played in Mexico, where they offered little resistance to América, who beat them 3-1.
Last year, San Diego had a spectacular MLS season, the best ever for any debuting franchise, but a year later, well into the 2026 season, they are experiencing their worst slump, having only managed two wins in their last 17 matches across all competitions.
Against América, even though Varas's team packed several players in defense, they didn't defend fiercely. On the first goal, a single player dribbled past two defenders with a single move, and on the second, none of the three defenders near the penalty area prevented Sánchez from finishing off a very obvious play.

Our San Diego FC vs Tijuana Prediction
Tijuana, meanwhile, after having a goal disallowed by VAR for offside, saw their opponents reduced to 10 men six minutes later with Tona's expulsion. Even so, it was a deserved defeat for the border club against Austin, as their attacks were plagued by miscues, with only 3 of their previous 20 shots on target.
Tijuana arrives at Snapdragon Stadium in California in abysmal form away from home. This year, in official matches, the Xolos have only recorded two away wins. Tijuana included 17-year-old Gilberto Mora among their potential starters. San Diego will be counting on Danish striker Dreyer to deliver his usual good performance.
Our prediction for San Diego vs Tijuana is: San Diego to win.
