Prediction published on 3/31/25, 1:08 AM  by Edgar Jibran | Modified on 3/31/25 at 9:09 AM in Concachampions Picks

The CONCACAF Champions Cup quarterfinals will start next Tuesday night with a very anticipated game between America and Cruz Azul, teams that will face at 07:15 pm CST at the Ciudad de los Deportes Stadium. With that in mind, the first leg is expected to be a huge test for Cruz Azul, as they’ll face America for the first time in the current season, it being remarkable that the result of these games will directly impact on Vicente Sanchez’s continuity for the next season.

With that in mind, America is expected to strategically play this game to avoid conceding any advantages to Cruz Azul, being worth reminding that the away goals are still the tiebreaker criteria in this tournament. Additionally, America is the favorite team to win according to the bookmakers’ odds after their streak of 3 victories in a row in which they scored 3 or more goals per game against Atlas, Guadalajara and Tigres UANL.

Meanwhile, Cruz Azul has also been able to hold a very positive streak of 9 unbeaten games in a row, however it cannot be forgotten that the last time that this team faced a complicated challenge playing away was against Tigres UANL, a game they lost 2-1. Additionally, during the round of 16 they were unable to win the first leg in Seattle, so if they keep the same trend for this game, the most likely scenario would be a new loss for this team.
