Colorado vs. Los Angeles: CONCACAF Champions League match forecast
The first round of the CONCACAF Champions League will bring together representatives of the MLS, Colorado and Los Angeles. The last two face-to-face matches ended in favor of the representative of California, and with a big score. Will the hosts be able to win the long-awaited victory on February 19th? The answer is in our forecast for this match.
Command Analysis
Colorado Rapids
USACurrent form
Colorado showed a good performance in 2024. The club managed to take seventh place in the Western Conference, three points ahead of Vancouver and Portland. That's how the club got into the playoffs directly. Nevertheless, the Rapids failed outright in the first stage of the matches, losing heavily to the Galaxy twice (0:5 and 1:4). The club has never lost in friendly matches so far - it managed to draw with Mexican Celaya (2:2) and Queretaro (1:1), as well as with DC United (1:1) from Washington. They managed to beat the Canadian Toronto FC (1-0) and the Mexican Atletico La Paz (3-0). The official season for Colorado starts with the Champions League match and Chris Armash's team will try not to lose face.

Los Angeles FC
USACurrent form
Los Angeles became one of the strongest clubs of the past regular season, sharing the first place in the Western Conference with neighbors from the Los Angeles Galaxy. However, the visitors also failed to make it far into the playoffs. In the 1/8 finals, Vancouver managed to get through in three matches, but then the Californians lost in extra time to Seattle, dropping out of the fight for the trophy. In the upcoming season, the guests will obviously try to perform more successfully. We will also have to play in the Champions League, for which Steve Cherundolo's players also have big plans. In recent friendly matches, they managed to beat Portland Timbers (1-0), Chicago Fire (1-0), and Mexican America (2-1).

1.67Tip and bets
The guests are considered the favorite of this confrontation and it is worth agreeing with the bookmakers here. Los Angeles has a very powerful squad that allows them to fight for the highest goals. Historically, the team from the city of Angels has played quite successfully with Colorado, and the last two matches between the rivals ended with major victories for Los Angeles. We believe that the guests will win this time too.
Our forecast is an Asian handicap (0) for Los Angeles in 1.67
Bet on the total
The opponents have been playing quite carefully defensively lately and even rarely miss in friendly matches. We think that in the first match of the Champions League, the teams will take their goal defense seriously, so it's not worth betting on the total anymore.
Our forecast is a total of less than 2.5 goals in 2.20 minutes.
The first half bet
We do not expect that the opponents will move forward with great strength immediately after the kickoff. It will obviously take time to take a closer look at each other. In this scenario, a draw is likely based on the results of the first half.
Our forecast is a draw in the first half at 2.30
