Santos Laguna can claim their first-ever victory in the Leagues Cup when they play their opening match on Wednesday against DC United from Audi Field.

Santos Laguna：

Santos Laguna will be aiming for their first-ever victory in the Leagues Cup as they kick off their campaign against DC United at Audi Field on Wednesday. The Laguneros have struggled in the Liga MX Apertura this year, remaining winless and suffering a 3-0 defeat at home to Tigres in their most recent match. With only one goal scored in four Apertura matches, Santos Laguna are replicating their poor offensive form from the 2024 Clausura, where they finished 15th and scored the fewest goals. Ignacio Ambriz's men are winless in their last 10 matches across all competitions, with their last win dating back to March against Cruz Azul. Additionally, their last away victory came in early March against Queretaro. In last year's Leagues Cup, they lost both group fixtures narrowly, failing to find a decisive breakthrough. Their only win against an MLS opponent in the Leagues Cup came in the 2021 quarter-finals against Orlando City.

DC United：

DC United started their Leagues Cup campaign with a dramatic 6-5 penalty shootout win over Atlanta United after a 3-3 draw in regular time. Despite dropping a point by not securing the win in 90 minutes, DC United are now unbeaten in their last three competitive matches, scoring eight goals in that span. Last year, they finished second in their East 2 group with three points and have yet to lose a group fixture in this tournament. This will be their second Leagues Cup match at Audi Field, where they previously lost 3-0 to Pumas. Defensively, DC United have struggled this year, conceding 50 goals, the most in the Eastern Conference of MLS. However, they have a good home record against Mexican opposition, with their last victory coming against Chivas in the 2007 Copa Sudamericana.
