In the last edition of the Leagues Cup the Revs made it to the round of 16. They bowed out to Queretaro losing in penalties. In 2023 the Revs were a much more competitive side, this time around with the form they’re in they may struggle to reach the same heights in the previous year.
The injury to Giacomo Vrioni not only was a big blow to the Revs MLS playoff hopes, but making out of the group stage is a concern now. The club's leading scorer is out with a calf injury and is expected to miss time till mid-August. With eight goals in 20 MLS matches in 2024, the likes of Charles Gil will have to fill in the void.

It was a bittersweet 2023 Leagues Cup for Mazatlan, after winning their group and achieving new heights facing Juarez and Austin FC, they were quickly dismantled and lost to Dallas FC in the round of 32.
The Canoneros have been snake-bitten when it comes to hitting the back of the net. So far in four Liga MX Apertura matches, they have only netted two goals. Last year the team leading goal getter, Luis Amarilla who nabbed eight goals has failed to capture a goal in 2024 so far. The 28-year-old has taken nine shots towards the target appearing in every minute played in the Apertura season.
New England Revolution vs. Mazatlan pick: New England Revolution Moneyline 3-way (-150) at bet365 Sportsbook
Both clubs are struggling in their respective league campaigns, but New England has more of a greater chance to kick off their start in the Leagues Cup with three points in the bag. Going back to their last 20 away games Mazatlan has lost half of them, and now travelling up to New England don’t think their situation will change. The Revs haven’t fared much better playing at home, but most of their results have come at Gillette Stadium. Mazatlan are labouring to get goals, can’t see how they outscore the Revs in this situational spot.
