Get all the details for the Leagues Cup match between Leon and Real Salt Lake, including lineup predictions, key stats, kickoff time, and how to watch.
Red-hot Leon will take on Real Salt Lake in the Leagues Cup quarterfinal tonight, where the winner will move on to the semifinal and the loser is eliminated from the tournament.
Leon have won six in a row, including knocking off Nashville SC, Orlando City, and Inter Miami CF as part of the Leagues Cup's group stage. Winger Daniel Arcila leads the entire tournament in goals (4), shots (10), and shots on target (10), and he'll look to add more to the tally tonight. Overall, Leon has outscored their Leagues Cup opponents six-to-three and have yet to lose a game.
Salt Lake comes into this match on a two-game losing streak in MLS, falling to Dallas and Orlando City, though they've been utterly dominant in Leagues Cup play. The team leads the tournament in goal differential (+7), as they've scored eight and have only allowed one to hit the back of the net.
While Salt Lake beat Atlante 4-0 and Juarez 3-0, they did tie with Club Tigres 1-1 in their opening match of the Leagues Cup. Still, their absurd goal differential led to their quarterfinal appearance where they'll hope to stay hot on both sides of the ball.
It's been a balanced attack on offense for Salt Lake - Sergi Solans and Pablo Ruiz each have scored twice, while four other players have contributed one. Goalkeeper Rafael Cabral has been fantastic in net, saving 10 shots while allowing just one, and putting two clean sheets together.
