LAFC vs Cruz Azul prediction

Marc Dos Santos is in charge of a Los Angeles FC side that have won five and drawn one of their opening six matches domestically. They hammered Orlando City by six goals to nil at the weekend, too.

They now face a Cruz Azul side that are the reigning North American champions, with Nicolas Larcamon at the helm. They are also performing well this season, too, as they sit second in the table behind Guadalajara. 

These are perhaps the two strongest sides in the quarter-finals of the CONCACAF Champions Cup and both teams scoring would appear a good bet for this first-leg.
