Leagues Cup Betting Tips: 3 Picks for Round of 16 (August 7-9)

Ace Football presents detailed betting tips on the upcoming Leagues Cup games of the week.

As we prepare for the last-16 round of the Leagues Cup, our experts take a look at the bookmakers’ predictions for the upcoming matches.

Here are three betting tips for League Cup’s round of 16.

Expect goals when Inter Miami meet FC Dallas

Inter Miami’s fairytale run in the Leagues Cup continued with another fantastic performance from Lionel Messi on Thursday. The MLS side defeated Orlando City to reach the last-16 round, where they meet FC Dallas.

Given Inter Miami’s recent displays, we don’t expect them to take a conservative approach to the game. Dallas, on the other hand, have also maintained impressive consistency with their goal numbers lately, scoring seven goals in their last three matches.

The hosts will most likely push to outscore their in-form opponents, which would increase the likelihood of goals on both sides.

Back Monterrey to beat Tigres

Monterrey have emulated their fantastic start to the new Liga MX in the Leagues Cup. A 1-0 win against Portland showcased their brilliant defensive form while seeing them secure a fifth consecutive win.

We expect this run to continue against Tigres, who have struggled to score in recent weeks.

The Tigers managed to beat Portland in the penalty shootouts in the last-32 round. But their recent defensive displays suggest they will give away enough opportunities to lose against Monterry’s in-form attacking line.

Goals likely on both sides when LA FC take on Real Salt Lake

Real Salt Lake qualified for the last-16 round after a 3-1 win over Leon on Friday. Next up, they will meet LA FC, who come into the game on the back of a 7-1 thrashing of Juarez.

Following a fantastic attacking display, the hosts come into the game as the favourites. Having scored in all but one of their last seven games, LA FC will most likely score against Real Salt Lake.

However, Real Salt Lake’s impressive goalscoring stats in away games suggest they will also find the back of the net on Tuesday.
