Philadelphia Union vs Queretaro Prediction & Betting Tips - Leagues Cup
by Joseph King | in Football Predictions
A semi-final spot is on the line when Major League Soccer’s Philadelphia Union play host to Liga MX club Queretaro for the Leagues Cup quarter-final. The winner of this single elimination knockout match will go on to play either Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami or Charlotte FC in the final four. The Union are the oddsmakers’ current third-favorites to lift the trophy behind Inter Miami and LAFC. Meanwhile, Queretaro have the longest odds to be crowned champions of the eight remaining teams.
Philadelphia advanced to this stage after overcoming Eastern Conference rivals the New York Red Bulls in the round of 16. The Union went down a goal after just four minutes of play but eventually found the equalizer midway through the second half. Despite being on top for large portions of the match, the contest would finish 1-1 after 90 minutes. Philadelphia would prevail in the subsequent penalty shootout and extend their current unbeaten streak to eight games overall. The hosts have been superb at Subaru Park this season and boast a 10-4-1 record on home soil in the MLS and Leagues Cup combined.
Queretaro come into this quarter-final matchup as significant underdogs after already suffering a heavy defeat to the Union in the group stage. The Liga MX side were dismantled by their MLS opponent on that day by a score of 5-1 which saw Philadelphia score three first half goals. Despite the heavy defeat in their first group stage game, Queretaro recovered well and claimed back-to-back 1-0 wins against Tijana and Pumas. They then overcame New England in the previous round on penalties after a 1-1 full time draw. The White Roosters kicked off the new league season with a win and a draw prior to the start of this tournament. That puts Queretaro’s seasonal record at three wins, one draw and two defeats across all competitions.

This is going to be a very difficult spot for Queretaro to get a result. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see another heavy defeat similar to the one they suffered to Philadelphia in the first group stage encounter. The Liga MX club have been quite fortunate to advance to this stage as they are clearly one of the weaker sides in the competition.
