Club Necaxa and Atlanta United get their 2025 Leagues Cup campaign underway when they lock horns at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Wednesday. Ronny Deila’s men, who have failed to taste victory since late May, will head into the midweek clash looking to stop the rot and fly out of the blocks in the continental showpiece.
Club Necaxa were denied consecutive wins in the new Liga MX campaign as they played out a 1-1 draw with Club America at the Estadio Victoria Aguascalientes last Sunday.
Prior to that, Fernando Gago’s men kicked off the new Apertura season with a 3-1 defeat against Toluca on July 13, six days before bouncing back in a 3-1 victory over Queretaro.
Necaxa will now focus on the Leagues Cup, where they reached the round of 32 last season before suffering a 5-0 loss to the San Jose Earthquakes.
