In the Round of 16 of the Leagues Cup, we have 11 MLS teams and one Mexican side, Club América, in the mix. Historically, Mexican teams have had an advantage over American counterparts in continental tournaments. The upcoming matchup between Nashville SC and Club América is a highlight, with the bookmakers favoring Club América to lift the trophy.

Club América, despite not setting the tournament on fire, remains a strong contender. After a 4-0 win against St. Louis, they suffered a 4-1 defeat to Columbus Crew in the group stage. Coach André Jardine made tactical adjustments, which paid off, but they face challenges with midfielder Richard Sanchez's late red card and Henry Martin's injury.

On the other hand, Nashville SC has shown entertaining football throughout the competition, beating Colorado, engaging in a thrilling 4-3 match with Toluca, and winning a shootout against FC Cincinnati. The absence of key players for Club América might give Nashville an edge, especially with Hany Mukhtar's potential game-changing abilities.

Considering both teams' scoring records in the tournament, a "Both Teams to Score" bet seems promising for the upcoming match. With Nashville's home advantage and Club América's missing players, some believe Nashville has a good chance of prevailing, potentially with a moment of Mukhtar magic.
