Los Angeles vs. Leon Betting Analysis
Los Angeles: Can the MLS Giant Turn the Tie Around?
Steve Cherundolo’s Los Angeles had a season to remember last time around. They won the Western Conference and finished top of the overall MLS standings before winning the MLS playoffs in dramatic style.
Replicating that success this term will take some doing, but the Falcons have made a solid start to their 2023 season. They currently sit third in the Western Conference standings, winning seven, drawing four, and losing one of their opening 12 games.
LAFC has done great to get this far, but they have left themselves with work to do after losing the first leg in Mexico. Can Cherundolo’s troops turn the tie around and get their hands on the trophy?
Leon: Will the Mexicans See the Job Through?
Leon recently went five games without a win, losing three and drawing two, but Nicolas Larcamon’s side has turned a corner of late. They head into this huge game in the States, having won three of their past four league and cup matches.
Leon finished sixth in the regular season and entered the reclassification stage of the Clausura. However, they were knocked out by Atletico San Luis, losing 3-1 at home.
Despite leading the tie, the Green Bellies still have a lot of work to do in America. LAFC is a tough nut to crack on their own patch, and the Mexican outfit will need to be at their very best to get the job done in the City of Angels. Keep reading our LAFC vs Leon FC betting preview for our picks.

Los Angeles vs. Leon Betting Preview
Los Angeles will back themselves to turn this tie around on home turf. They have an excellent home record under Cherundolo, and the home win in the 90 is priced at -125.

Los Angeles vs. Leon Betting Prediction
The first leg at Estadio Leon in Guanajuato was a fascinating affair. Leon took an early lead and doubled their advantage deep into first-half injury time. LAFC pulled one back in the 96th minute to half the deficit. How important could Denis Bouanga’s goal turn out to be?
We can see Los Angeles getting the job done on home soil.
There is great value in CONCACAF odds of +225 for the Black and Gold to win by a -1 handicap margin. Also, back the home win, and both teams to score (+225).
