One of the playoff round matches of the CONCACAF Champions League will take place on Thursday at the “Eladio Rosabal Cordero” stadium, where local Herediano will host Los Angeles Galaxy. I suggest betting on goals in this match with a good odds.
Match Preview
The “Glorious” finished only fourth in the regular season of the previous Apertura, trailing leader Alajuelense by 11 points. However, in the playoff semifinals, Herediano beat the leader 2-0 at home and then held on in the return leg with a 2-2 draw. The “Red-Yellows” led twice, and there was no talk of an Alajuelense advantage.
In the final, Herediano faced Saprissa, whom they crushed 3-0 in the first home match. However, the return game was extremely challenging, as by the end of the first half, Saprissa had scored twice. Nevertheless, after the break, they managed to keep a clean sheet and win the title. In the new Costa Rican championship season, the “Glorious” are leading, remaining unbeaten and five points ahead of Puntarenas.
The “Galacticos” had an excellent MLS season and deservedly clinched the championship. In the regular season, the team finished second in the Western Conference, trailing neighbors Los Angeles FC only due to a worse goal difference. In the playoffs, Los Angeles Galaxy reached the final, where they defeated New York Red Bulls (2-1).
In the new MLS season, the “Galacticos” started poorly, losing their first two matches. In the first round at home, the club lost 0-2 to San Diego. And last weekend, they traveled to Canadian Vancouver, where they lost 1-2 to the local club. The decisive goal for the “Galacticos” came in the 87th minute of the match.
Probable Lineups
- Herediano: Carvajal, Quiros, Brown, Perez, Araya, Bravo, Cruz, Rodriguez, Aguilar, Hernandez
- Los Angeles Galaxy: Mikovic, Garces, Yoshida, Zanka, Nelson, Pess, Magole, Fagundez, Vainder, Gerillo, Berry
Match Facts and Head-to-Head
- No current information on the games, as the last time the teams played was in the spring of 2013 – back then, “Galaxy” advanced thanks to a 4-1 home victory
- The “Both Teams to Score” bet came through in three out of five matches involving Los Angeles Galaxy
- The “Both Teams to Score” option also succeeded in Herediano’s last three matches
Prediction
