Club America is the most valuable Mexican team, which, by default, makes it one of the top favorites for the 2024 Leagues Cup. Being the winners of the Mexican Liga MX, “Millonetas” got themselves a direct ticket to the Round of 32, where they will play against Atlas on August 9 in San Diego.
Before Betting on Club America vs. Atlas
Club America and Atlas are two Mexican teams that have faced each other literally hundreds of times before. The last time they played, Club America won 5:1. No surprise there as the Mexican champion is one of the best teams on the continent, if not the very best one.
This team has huge ambitions, which is why you can be certain that they’re gonna go all-in on Friday evening. They’ve had plenty of time to prepare for this duel, unlike Atlas who played two Leagues Cup games already.
In the first round, they beat Houston Dynamo 1:0 in a somewhat dull match that saw them score the winner in the 83rd minute. In the second round, we saw them lose 2:1 to Real Salt Lake. It could’ve been even worse for Atlas who were the inferior side throughout the match.
Club America vs. Atlas Leagues Cup Offshore Odds & Pick
| Match Result | Odds |
|---|---|
| Club America | -146 |
| Draw | +270 |
| Atlas | +380 |
Club America is our pick. The main reason is that this team is much better than Atlas. On top of that, the Mexican champions have also had much more time to prepare for this game, so they shouldn’t have any problems outplaying Atlas’s players who are possibly tired from their last two Leagues Cup games.
This is one of the safest bets of the first round of the Leagues Cup knockouts. Still, it’s not as safe as the bet you can read about in our Inter Miami vs. Toronto FC preview.
