CONCACAF Champions League Predictions for Los Angeles vs Alajuelense
Alajuelense will have to travel on Thursday to face the unbeatable Los Angeles at BMO Stadium. Here are our top Los Angeles vs Alajuelense betting tips for this game.
Contents
Over 3.5 Goals
Even though the first game between the two teams ended with a 0-3 victory for Los Angeles, we still highly recommend you listen to this superior Los Angeles vs Alajuelense prediction. Sure, the game was under 3.5 goals but on another day it would’ve ended with 5+ goals. After all, Los Angeles alone had 25 shots at target, 13 of which were on target.
Alajuelense had decent goalscoring prospects that they should’ve turned to goals. The Costa Rican team had 13 shots at target and while neither of these shots ended in a goal for Alajuelense, we’re confident that the visitors at BMO Stadium have nothing to lose and they’ll be hammering away in desperate attempts to find the net.
Los Angeles/Los Angeles
Los Angeles are one of MLS’ most impressive teams since the start of the season. Granted, only three official games have been played up until now but in all of them, Steven Cherundolo’s boys scored three or more goals. Even the pre-season friendly against San Diego Loyal on the 19th of September ended with a 3-1 victory for Los Angeles.
We fully anticipate the game on Thursday to go Steven Cherundolo’s way and our Los Angeles vs Alajuelense predictions to be successful.
Currently, in 2nd place in MLS’ Western Conference ranking, Los Angeles have a game yet to be played that could launch them to the top of the table. The clash against Alajuelense will be nothing more than a protocol game.

Los Angeles odds: -250 – 61.0%
Draw odds: +425 – 28.0%
Alajuelense odds: +725 – 11.0%
With a whopping 61.0% win probability at -250, it’s no wonder why everyone pegs Steven Cherundolo’s boys as favorites to win on Thursday. Alajuelense’s odds at +725 barely give the Costa Rican team an 11.0% chance of winning this CONCACAF Champions League game.
Los Angeles vs Alajuelense Lineups & Team News
Los Angeles
Adding up to their already impressive 0-3 win over Alajuelense, Los Angeles’ players were keen on preserving their form against New England Revolution. The game was held at BMO Stadium and since the first kick, Los Angeles had complete control over the game. After 90 minutes of soccer have been played, coach Steven Cherundolo’s boys had 12 shots on target compared to New England Revolution’s one correct shot!

Alajuelense
The performance in the Costa Rican Primera Division last week wasn’t much different from the CONCACAF Champions League one.

Player to Watch: Denis Bouanga
With two goals to his name in the match against New England Revolution, Denis Bouanga is turning out to be a key cog in coach Steven Cherundolo’s winning machine which just clicked into gear. The 28-year-old Gabonese’s quick feet were causing mayhem in New England Revolution’s penalty box and we’re convinced that if the manager decides to play him in against Alajuelense, he’ll be the player to watch.
