International cups are a highlight for most teams. Both Puebla and Minnesota United are looking forward to this Leagues Cup fight to decide who advances from the Group Stage.
It's quite the trip for Minnesota United when visiting Puebla as the cities are 3300 kilometers apart.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
