CONCACAF Champions League Betting Preview of the Leg 1 Matches

Tauro FC vs. Leon

Tauro FC vs. Leon Game Info | Updated ConcaChampions Odds
When: Wednesday, Mar. 8 at 6:00 pm ET
Where: Estadio Rommel Fernández Gutiérrez, Panama City, Panama
TV / Streaming: Local

Tauro FC is a CONCACAF League squad, which means the likely home dog in this hasn’t stepped onto a pitch in a meaningful match since Sep. 22, 2022. That’s a long layoff for a team looking to take down one of the best in the Mexican Liga.

Leon has won 3-of-5 with a couple of draws. The road favorite in this matchup drew against Monterrey and FC Juarez. Leon beat Queretaro 3-0, Puebla 2-0, and Atletico San Luis 2-0.

The home team in this should struggle to keep it close. Leon can win by at least 2 and could win by 3.

Olimpia vs. Atlas

Olimpia vs. Atlas Game Info | Updated ConcaChampions Odds
When: Wednesday, Mar. 8 at 8:00 pm ET
Where: Estadio Olímpico Metropolitano, San Pedro Sula, Honduras
TV / Streaming: Local

Olimpia versus Atlas is an intriguing match. The home squad shows much better form than the road team, but Atlas should go off the chalk.

The reason? Olimpia plays in the Honduran Liga Nacional. So although Olimpia shows 3 wins and a couple of draws in their last 5, the home team in this matchup should step onto their pitch the underdog.

Atlas is in terrible form. The road chalk has lost 3 with a pair of draws. But the draws happened in the last couple of matches, and they occurred against America, one of the Mexican Liga BBVA MX’s top teams and Tijuana, another solid Mexican Liga squad. The likely favorite prevails.

Vancouver Whitecaps vs. Real Espana

Whitecaps vs. Real Espana Game Info | Updated ConcaChampions Odds
When: Wednesday, Mar. 8 at 10:00 pm ET
Where: BC Place, Vancouver, Canada
TV / Streaming: Local

Since beating Seattle 2-1 and Austin 2-0 in back-to-back matches, MLS squad Vancouver’s form has fallen off a cliff. The Whitecaps are 0-3 in their last 3 matches: losing 2-0 to Minnesota United, 1-2 against Real Salt Lake, and 2-1 versus San Jose Earthquakes.

Real Espana has a win, a loss, and 3 draws in their last 5. Espana fell to CD Motagua by a 3-0 sore in their last. The lone win in Espana’s last 5 came against Victoria. 

The reason that’s significant is because Real Espana, like Olimpia, plays in the Honduran Liga Nacional. Teams that play in the Honduran Liga have a huge disadvantage against Major League Soccer squads. In this case, Real Espana’s disadvantage is more significant because unlike Olimpia, Espana is the road team. Vancouver ends the losing streak with a multiple goals victory.
