Why Pumas UNAM is a good bet versus the Seattle Sounders
Like Seattle, Pumas has lost their last couple. But Pumas won the matches they had to, over Cruz Azul in the first leg and then drawing with Cruz Azul in the second leg. Not only that, but this happens on Pumas UNAM’s pitch. The Mexico City based team would like nothing more than to dominate a Major League Soccer club in a final for a Champions League trophy.

Final Betting Analysis: Pumas UNAM vs Seattle Sounders
Both Pumas UNAM and the Seattle Sounders aren’t playing their best soccer. However, before writing off either squad it’s important to note that Pumas played their last couple of matches on the road.
If Pumas had battled Atletico San Luis and Guadalajara at home, they most likely would have won. Pumas UNAM is almost impossible to beat in the Estadio Olimpico.
Not only that, but we must question Seattle’s form. New York City FC is not playing well and the Sounders lost at home to Miami.
By no means is Pumas UNAM a lock. However, MLS teams almost never step it up on the road against a quality squad from the Mexican Liga.
Also, the Sounders aren’t in very good form. So Pumas UNAM figures to win this in regulation. The bet is on the Pumas handicap.
Champions League CONCACAF Pick: Pumas -½
