Cruz Azul and Atlanta United will decide which team advances to the knockout phase of the Leagues Cup. A win here is necessary for both units, so the stakes are high. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cruz Azul is in terrible shape. The Mexicans have four losses in four appearances this year, and things aren’t going well for them. Radical changes are a must in order to advance from the group stage on both ends of the field. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The defense is sluggish, the offense is as well. Though, we need to add that Cruz Azul didn’t have a drop of luck against Inter Miami, allowing a goal in the last minutes and missing a few dead chances in the opening 45 minutes. Interestingly, all four events played this season finished with moderate efficiency, 2 or 3 goals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
