Why Bet on Pachuca?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pachuca is one of the\u00a0most powerful\u00a0clubs in the history of the Concacaf Champions Cup, <\/a>and this\u00a0year, they have been able to revalidate that status by qualifying for the final of the most important tournament of this confederation.\u00a0

To reach this stage, the club had to eliminate Club Am\u00e9rica, which was probably a great candidate for most experts.\u00a0In the Azteca stadium, they tied 1-1, and in the second leg, the Tuzos won 2-1 with goals by Miguel Rodr\u00edguez and the Colombian Nelson Deossa.\u00a0<\/strong>

Philadelphia Union, Herediano, and the \u00c1guilas were the victims of Pachuca, who had won all their home games.\u00a0What’s\u00a0more, they have scored 11 goals at home.\u00a0<\/strong>

It is clear that the campaign now allows them to define the 2024 edition of the tournament in front of their fans, and this is a plus that they should take advantage of,\u00a0especially,\u00a0due to the level of striker Salom\u00f3n Rond\u00f3n.\u00a0

The Venezuelan has 17 goals and three assists in 27 games, being the player with the best numbers within the club that has lifted the Concacaf Champions Cup five times, the last of them in 2017.\u00a0<\/strong>In addition, they have never lost a final, although\u00a0this will be the first time they faced a U.S. opponent as previously played against Mexicans (4) and Costa Ricans (1).\u00a0

For now, Pachuca has all its players available for this match.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Bet on Columbus Crew?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The pressure of representing the United States as champion was not a problem for Columbus Crew, and they are in their first Concacaf Champions Cup final, with the possibility of returning the ultimate glory to MLS.\u00a0In the previous round, they had to fight hard against Monterrey but pulled through the series with a 5-2 aggregate score. They won 2-1 at home and 3-1 on Mexican soil.\u00a0<\/strong>

And it is precisely the Liga MX clubs that are working well for the American king since, one round earlier, they have taken out Tigres, another historic team in this tournament. Furthermore, in their two matches on Mexican soil, they\u00a0didn\u2019t\u00a0lose, drawing once and then beating the Rayados.\u00a0<\/strong>

When talking about their star players, we must highlight the role of Colombian striker Juan Camilo\u00a0“El Cucho”\u00a0Hern\u00e1ndez, who brings his European experience to this club and has already won the MLS championship.\u00a0He has two goals in this tournament, although he has missed the last few games due to a back problem.\u00a0<\/strong>Evan Bush has also been out with an arm injury.\u00a0

Columbus Crew dreams of joining DC United, Los Angeles Galaxy, and Seattle Sounders as U.S. CONCACAF champions, but it\u00a0will be\u00a0a tough\u00a0task as the Mexicans have won 17 of the last 18 editions. It is precisely the Sounders who spoiled the party in 2022.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Betting Analysis:\u00a0Pachuca vs. Columbus Crew<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This\u00a0will be the sixth final between Mexicans and Americans, and the\u00a0Spanish-speakers have won four.\u00a0In addition, if we add the Canadians Toronto FC and Montreal Impact, who are part of the MLS, there are eight finals between these two leagues, with six titles for Liga MX.<\/strong>

The numbers at Gambyl Exchange have Pachuca as the favorite.\u00a0Their Moneyline\u00a0shows\u00a01.68, Columbus Crew has 4.66, and the draw is\u00a0at\u00a04.15.<\/em>

For Pachuca and Columbus Crew,\u00a0this will be an unprecedented match, as they have never faced each other, not even in a friendly.

Undoubtedly, this will be a very tough final,\u00a0especially,\u00a0because Columbus Crew already knows what it is like to go to Mexico and win. However, this time, Pachuca will be guided by its goal scorer, Salom\u00f3n Rond\u00f3n, to shout champion in the most important tournament at club level in North and Central America.\u00a0We’ll\u00a0go for a 3-2.<\/strong>

Go for a win for Pachuca. If you bet $100 at 1.68, you will gain $68 for a total payout of $168.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
