Philadelphia Union will host Queretaro in a Leagues Cup Group 12 fixture on Wednesday.
The hosts kickstarted their tournament with a 3-1 victory over 10-man Club Tijuana last week. Daniel Gadzac broke the deadlock from the spot in the 21st minute, while Junior Carranza scored a brace to inspire the victory.
Queretaro are yet to get into action in the Leagues Cup. Los Gallos Blancos are coming into the tournament on the back of a 4-1 defeat away to Atletico San Luis. They went ahead through Angel Sanchez but goals from Ricardo Sanchez, Vitinho, Julio Dominguez and Unai Arteta helped the hosts complete a comeback win.
Philadelphia Union are on the cusp of qualifying for the knockout rounds, having started their tournament on a winning note. A second victory here would take Jim Curtin's side through to the next round as group winners. The Zolos have home advantage in their favor and have been in emphatic form in front of their fans with six games won on the bounce.
Queretaro will aim to avoid being eliminated from the competition in their first game. A loss for the Mexicans will render their game against Club Tijuana to be a mere formality.
We are backing the hosts to claim a comfortable win in a high-scoring game.

Tip 1 - Philadelphia Union to win
