CONCACAF Champions League Quarter-Finals: 1st Leg Matches Betting Preview
Tuesday, April 27th Matches
- Philadelphia Union +248 / Atlanta United FC +102
Atlanta United won their first couple of CONCACAF Champions League matches of the year. ATL FC beat Alajuelense by a 1-0 score on April 6. A week later, Atlanta U beat Alajuelense 1-0 on April 13.
Philadelphia Union beat Saprissa 1-0 and 4-0 in their two CONCACAF CL matches. But Philly Union has struggled so far in MLS, drawing with Columbus and losing 1-2 against Inter Miami. Still, the odds make the home team an overlay. So consider backing Philadelphia.
Soccer Pick: Philadelphia Union
- Cruz Azul -121 / Toronto FC +307
Cruz Azul has 3 wins and 2 draws in their last 5 matches. The favored home squad is in first place in the Mexican Liga Primera Division. They’ve got 5 points over America. To understand how good Mexican League teams are, don’t forget that earlier in the year Tigres UANL fell to Bayern in the World CL Finals by a goal. Tigres has 22 points to Cruz Azul’s 40.
Toronto has a win, 2 losses, and 2 draws in their last 5. It doesn’t appear the road underdogs have much of a shot in this. -121 odds on Azul are more than fair.
Soccer Pick: Cruz Azul
Wednesday, April 28th Matches
- Monterrey +127 / Columbus Crew SC +186
Because Monterrey hosts Columbus, they’re getting the benefit of the doubt. The home team, though, didn’t play their best soccer last week. Monterrey lost all three matches, losing 0-1 to Pachuca, falling 1-2 versus Guadalajara, and dropping a match 2-1 against Tigres UANL.
Columbus offers decent odds. The 2020 Major League Soccer Champions drew with Philadelphia Union in their last. Before the draw with Philly Union, Columbus blasted Real Esteli 4-0 and 1-0 in a couple of CL matches. Columbus looks like a strong underdog.
Soccer Pick: Columbus Crew
- America +117 / Portland Timbers +213
Portland has won 2-of-3, including beating Marathon 5-0 in a CONCACAF Champions League match on April 13. On April 24, the Timbers beat Houston Dynamo 2-1.
America is one of the better squads in the Mexican Liga Primer Division. But the home team has a couple of losses and a draw in their last three. America’s form may provide fuel for a Portland upset.
Soccer Pick: Portland Timbers
