Leagues Cup Parlay Picks for Matchday 2
Inter Miami to Win vs. Monterrey
The standout clash on matchday 2 in the Leagues Cup is set for Nu Stadium, as Inter Miami host Mexican heavyweights Monterrey. However, a victory for the defending MLS Cup champions looks like the standout inclusion when making Leagues Cup parlay picks.
Lionel Messi returned to the starting eleven against San Luis with two goals in a 3-1 victory, extending Inter’s unbeaten run in all competitions to eight matches. In contrast, Monterrey were disappointing on MD1, as they were beaten 2-1 by Orlando City.
Real Salt Lake to Win vs. Atlante
There will be pressure on Real Salt Lake to bounce back to winning form on MD2 following a penalty shootout loss against Tigres UANL on MD1.
Their chances against Atlante will be increased based on their impressive home record, as they have won seven of their eight in the MLS this season. Meanwhile, despite a shock win for Atlante on MD1, they are unlikely to stifle another standout forward line in the MLS for the second time in five days.

Philadelphia Union to Win vs. Necaxa
The Philadelphia Union will be a popular selection when making Leagues Cup parlay picks this weekend. Philadelphia have bounced back to their best form since the World Cup, winning each of their previous three, with all victories coming in home matches.
Necaxa are expected to struggle in the Leagues Cup, despite winning two of their opening three in Liga MX. Their weak defensive record could be costly in the opening round of the competition, as they have allowed 3.00 goals per game in their away fixtures.
Puebla to Win vs. Austin FC
The standout Liga MX club to consider when making Leagues Cup parlay picks is Puebla. Austin FC have been extremely disappointing since the start of May, losing five of their previous six, which includes back-to-back losses without scoring.
Puebla have avoided defeat in two of their opening three in Liga MX, and they are strong at both ends of the field, having scored 1.00 goal per game and restricted opponents to an average xGA of just 1.79.
