Cruz Azul vs LAFC prediction

The first-leg of this CONCACAF Champions Cup quarter-final tie saw LAFC hammer Cruz Azul by three goals to nil at BMO Stadium in California, courtesy of a strike from Son Heung-min, as well as a brace from attacking midfielder David Martinez.

Cruz Azul had been performing extremely well but the hosts are now winless in their last six matches across all competitions. They now face an LAFC side that sit third in the table in the Western Conference of the 2026 MLS season.

LAFC did stumble to a 2-1 loss to Portland Timbers the other day as they focus on edging past Cruz Azul. They remain slight favourites for this tie but home advantage for Cruz Azul should ensure it is a decent watch for the neutral.
