Los Angeles FC vs Juarez Predictions and Free Betting Tips from expert tipsters when they go head-to-head in the Leagues Cup on Thursday, 03 August 2023.
Los Angeles FC will face Juarez at BMO Stadium for their upcoming cup fixture. Los Angeles FC enter the competition this late for being the 2022 MLS Cup Champions. The round of 32 would now see them face Juarez.
Their opponent, Juarez, has performed admirably in the competition and came second in their individual group. They will now aim for results against MLS heavyweight LAFC.
This will be marked as the first ever meeting between these two teams.
We are counting on Juarez to pull off a win here. They have a fine away record heading into this one. Three of their past four away matches have ended in victories.
On the other side, LAFC’s recent record over the last few weeks has been far from ideal. In their last six matches, they have won only once. Three of those matches ended in defeats as well.
We expect goals in this match. In two of LAFC’s last three home matches, there have been more than 2.5 goals scored. Also, two of Juarez’s last three matches have ended with over 2.5 goals.
In addition, each of the five h2h meetings between these two at this ground has had over 2.5 goals. By the looks of things, a high-scoring affair is expected this time out.
Neither of these two teams has had a solid defensive line in recent weeks. The hosts have failed to keep clean sheets in five of their last six matches. While the visitors have also failed to keep any clean sheets in each of their six matches this season.
Thus, the chances are quite high for goals to come from either end of the pitch.
The bookies have Los Angeles FC as the favorite, but backing them at 1.50 odds isn’t a good bet considering Juarez’s great away record heading into the match. They’ve won three of their last four away matches. Furthermore, LAFC’s recent form is not the greatest going into the match.
A +1.5 Asian handicap on Juarez at 1.61 odds will be our main betting pick here considering all the observations.
Furthermore, the both teams to score odds of 1.66 look very attractive. Given both clubs’ poor defensive performances and recent goal participation at both ends of the pitch.
