Why Bet on CD Motagua versus Pachuca?

Honduran Liga Nacional squad CD Motagua is in excellent form. Motagua hasn’t lost a match in any of their last 5.

The home team in this has won 2 straight after drawing in 3 straight. Since the match happens in Honduras, the hot home team has a significant edge.

 

Why Bet on Pachuca versus CD Motagua?

For starters, Pachuca plays in a much better league than CD  Motagua. The Honduran Liga Nacional doesn’t compare to the Mexican Liga BBVA MX.

Second, Pachuca broke a 2-match losing streak in their last. The road team in this beat quality club America 3-0 on March 4.

 

Final Betting Analysis: Pachuca at CD Motagua

CD Motagua will be fired up but Pachuca is the deeper and better club. The Mexican Liga squad turned their form around in the victory over America.

Expect Pachuca to keep the good times going with a road win against their CONCACAF Champions League rivals.

Alajuelense vs. Los Angeles Football Club

Alajuelense vs. Los Angeles FC Game Info | Updated ConcaChampions Odds
When: Thursday, March 9 at 10:00 pm ET
Where: Alejandro Morera Soto, Alajuela, Costa Rica
TV / Streaming: Local

 

Why Bet on Alajuelense versus Los Angeles Football Club?

Alajuelense has won 4-of-5. The Costa Rican club is on fire with wins against Herediano, Grecia, Cartagines, and Guadalupe.

In the 4 wins, Alajuelense outscored their opponents 16 to 2. In addition, this happens on Alajuelense’s pitch, which should give them a slight edge.

 

Why Bet on Los Angeles Football Club versus Alajuelense?

LAFC is the best team in a much better league than the league in which Alajuelense plays. The Los Angeles Football Club not only won the MLS title last season, but also improved during the offseason.

LAFC’s acquisitions make them the favorite to win the 2023 MLS Championship. Also, the Los Angeles Football Club, like Alajuelense, is in excellent form. LAFC is on a 4 match winning streak with victories against LA Galaxy, Austin FC, Philadelphia Union, and the Portland Timbers.

 

Final Betting Analysis: Los Angeles Football Club at Alajuelense

Costa Rica produces very good soccer players. The nation sent a team to the World Cup in 2022, which tells us Alajuelense is a solid team.

But LAFC is good enough to hang with some decent UEFA club teams. The Los Angeles Football Club is legit. Decent European talent and homegrown U.S. star players dot the roster.

Alajuelense will play tough but LAFC gets it done. If the handicap shows L.A. -3.5 goals, consider backing Alajuelense. But if the handicap is -1.5 to -2.5 on LAFC, we have to lay the number. 

 

Soccer Pick: Los Angeles Football Club -1.5 to -2.5 | Bet CONCACAF Champions League Today
