The Seattle Sounders have been playing amazing soccer over the last couple of weeks, going 3-0-0 in the 2025 Leagues Cup and beating LA Galaxy on the return to the MLS. The form of Puebla is almost the exact opposite.
The Mexican team did do okay in the Leagues Cup (two wins and one loss), but then got obliterated by Tigres UANL 7:0 in the Mexican Liga MX.

Oddsmakers Expect Seattle Sounders to Get the Job Done Easily
The Seattle Sounders started their 2025 Leagues Cup campaign with a demolition job against Cruz Azul – they won that game 7:0.
Next, they beat Santos Laguna 2:1, followed by a win over Club Tijuana by the same scoreline. Then, when the 2025 MLS returned, they destroyed the Los Angeles Galaxy on the road 4:0.
Obviously, they’ve been in amazing form throughout the summer. Their biggest strength is their team spirit, along with the fact that they have a very long bench. This team is strong in practically every area, with at least two good players for every position on the field.
What they don’t have is a superstar who can win matches on their own. Seattle’s players aren’t used to big games, but on the bright side for them, neither are those playing for Puebla.
Can Puebla Upset the Leagues Cup Odds?
Puebla is the least valuable team in the Mexican Liga MX, according to Transfermarkt, with a roster value of under $25 million. The value of Seattle’s squad is almost three times bigger.
Another problem for Puebla is that these guys seem to be completely out of form. They did start the 2025 Leagues Cup with an upset 3:0 win over New York City FC. They were +330 underdogs ahead of that game.
Then, however, they lost to the Columbus Crew 3:1, which was expected. In the first round of the knockout phase, they upset the odds again. This time, they beat CF Montreal 2:1, a Canadian team that was seen as a -145 favorite.
Against Seattle, Puebla’s odds are +550, suggesting that they’re gonna get thrashed at Lumen Field. We think that the main reason for this is that on August 8, they got obliterated by Tigres UANL 7:0.
Seattle Sounders vs. Puebla Prediction
The Sounders aren’t the best team in America, but they’re levels above Puebla. Their form is good, and they need to make it count. We think they will – our prediction is that they’re gonna dominate the August 10 game and get a comfortable win.
