The Austin FC team will temporarily shift their focus from the intense competition of Major League Soccer to face Pumas UNAM in the Leagues Cup on Saturday evening. Although technically an away game, the match will take place at their home venue of Q2 Stadium. Nevertheless, the Texas team may face a challenging game.
Last year, Austin FC had what some might consider a fortunate group-stage draw with Mazatlán FC and FC Juárez. However, this time around, luck was not on their side as they were placed in a group with Pumas UNAM and CF Monterrey, whom they will face on Tuesday.
These two clubs in Mexico are among the best and most prominent, currently holding top four positions in the Liga MX standings. Additionally, their payroll is more than double that of Austin FC.
