Player to watch: Sebastian Driussi
After winning the 2022 Major League Soccer Top Goalscorer Award, Driussi hasn’t performed quite as impressive. Sure, he scored only five goals in 19 league matches this season, but we know he has the required arsenal to help his team succeed.
Second player to watch: Rogelio Funes Mori
Mori of Pumas UNAM is the key threat to our Pumas UNAM vs Austin predictions’ safety. He is one of the more prolific Liga MX finishers and we are certain he’s eager to prove himself in the Leagues Cup as well.
