Real Espana vs LAFC prediction
Real Espana have qualified for the first round of the CONCACAF Champions Cup as a result of finishing in the semi-finals of the Central American Cup in 2024. Under the management of Jeaustin Campos, they are currently second in the Liga Nacional.
They now face a Los Angeles FC side that, under the management of Marc Dos Santos, finished third in the Western Conference in Major League Soccer. They squeezed into the CONCACAF Champions League via the Supporters’ Shield.
Real Espana are one of the weakest sides in this tournament and they will want to be tough opposition here but LAFC are heavy favourites for this first-leg in Honduras.
Real Espana vs LAFC tip: LAFC to win -1 handicap
