Cruz Azul and Atlanta United get a break from their league challenge to fight for a possible trophy in this Leagues Cup Group Stage fixture.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Atlanta United have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 5-7-16 (win-draw-loss) from 28 matches.
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Atlanta United, who are travelling more than 2700 kilometers to play this game.
Atlanta United could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Leagues Cup game only four sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Inter Miami. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
