Two struggling sides will face off in a crucial Leagues Cup fixture as FC Dallas host Necaxa at the Toyota Stadium.
FC Dallas kick-started their Leagues Cup campaign with a defeat against Charlotte. Bernard Kamungo and Sebastian Lletget put Dallas in the lead twice but the American side were given two thunderous replies by Charlotte who defeated them 4-1 on penalties.
Dallas have been on a losing streak extending to four games and will be reluctant to end this wretched run of form.
Necaxa on the other hand have had a shambolic start to their Liga MX campaign as they are yet to register their first win in three games. Facing an American side for the first time, Necaxa would want to win their opening fixture and gain momentum heading into the tournament.
