Pumas and Orlando City will meet for the first time on Wednesday in a clash of Leagues Cup group-stage heavyweights, with both sides boasting unbeaten records in regulation during the competition's round-robin phase.
Pumas arrive off the back of a morale-boosting 2-0 win over Queretaro in Liga MX, ending a six-match winless run and offering a glimpse of momentum under manager Efrain Juarez.
Despite their shaky domestic form, Pumas have shown resilience in this tournament, scoring in every group game they've played and often rallying from behind to steal points.
They'll be looking to recapture their 2023 magic when they dominated D.C. United 3-0 and will hope to avoid a repeat of last year's Round of 16 collapse against Seattle.
Orlando City, meanwhile, is riding a wave of improving form after a bumpy MLS start, having stitched together back-to-back league wins with a tightened-up defense.
Historically strong in the Leagues Cup group stage, the Lions have topped their section twice and enter with four group wins under their belt.
However, home advantage hasn't always worked in their favor. Orlando has just one regulation-time win at Inter & Co Stadium in this tournament and has struggled against Liga MX opponents on U.S. soil.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times, and the latest lineup news.
