Pumas vs. Vancouver Whitecaps: Picks, Predictions, Odds and Player Props

It's all tied up at 1-1 between Pumas and Vancouver Whitecaps in the last eight of the CONCACAF Champions Cup ahead of their second leg in Mexico City.

Nathan Silva's 71st-minute own goal gave Vancouver the lead at BC Place in Canada before Adalberto Carrasquilla levelled the tie in the 87th when volleying home from a well-worked corner.

The winner will face either Inter Miami or Los Angeles FC in the semifinals, but Pumas' home record in the 2025 Champions Cup has been strong and can be the difference, especially with Carrasquilla seemingly coming good.

Pumas vs. Vancouver Whitecaps betting picks and predictions

Pumas ML (+110)

It has been a bruising few months for three-time Champions Cup winners Pumas. They finished fourth in the Liga MX Apertura phase but are only 10th in the Clausura and lost 3-2 at Cruz Azul in their last game.

They also lost their last Liga MX home match 3-1 to Monterrey but have been excellent at the Estadio Olimpico Universitario in continental football.

Efrain Juarez's side have beaten another Canadian club, Cavalry, and Costa Rica's Alajuelense and have only lost one home game in CONCACAF Champions Cup since going down to Dallas in 2011.

Vancouver has its work cut out but sits top of the Supporters' Shields standings after Sunday's 2-0 victory over Colorado Rapids, which marked their best-ever seven-game start to an MLS season.

It felt like the 'Caps were the better team at BC Place, winning the shot count 5-2, and Carrasquilla's equaliser came from one of only two Pumas corners.

Jesper Sorensen's team drew 2-2 at Monterrey to progress on away goals after another 1-1 in Vancouver.

A repeat of that outcome would suit them, but they have failed to win their last six Champions Cup games against Mexican opposition and are also facing a hard schedule, with this their fourth game in 15 days.

Pumas' home record is also too hard to ignore and they are worth backing to win at +110, while that outcome and both teams to score is +350.

Over 2.5 Total Goals (+120)

Pumas might be yet to concede at home in the CONCACAF Champions Cup, but Vancouver tends to be exciting on the road and goals follow them around.

They lost 2-1 in Costa Rica to Deportivo Saprissa before that 2-2 draw at Monterrey and another case of Over 2.5 goals could be the same in this quarterfinal second leg.

That has also been the outcome in the over/under market in Pumas' last four Clausura games: those contests featured four, four, three and five goals.

Both of Tuesday's quarterfinal second legs finished Over 2.5 goals - Cruz Azul 2-1 America and UANL 3-2 LA Galaxy - and this game can add to that run.

Adalberto Carrasquilla anytime goalscorer (+600)

Carrasquilla's goal in the first leg was his first for Pumas since joining from Houston Dynamo and he backed it up with a penalty in the defeat to Cruz Azul.

The Panama midfielder was named Golden Ball winner for his performances in leading La Marea Roja to the final of the 2023 Gold Cup, but it felt like he needed a fresh start after Houston fell in the first round of last year's MLS playoffs.

Carrasquilla is still adapting to life with Pumas, but his two goals in as many games suggest he is coming good.

His equaliser in Vancouver came from a well-worked set piece and Wednesday's hosts might look to repeat that move, which increasingly brings another goal for the 26-year-old into play.
