The CONCACAF Champions Cup quarter finals begin this week, as the Vancouver Whitecaps host Pumas UNAM in the first leg of what looks like a very tight matchup. The Whitecaps reached this stage of the competition thanks to a narrow away goals victory over Monterrey in the last 16. Brian White's late goal in the away leg ultimately proved decisive, as both legs of the tie finished all square after 90 minutes. White was also the Whitecaps hero in the first round of the tournament, as his two second leg goals enabled them to overcome Saprissa 3-2 on aggregate.
Pumas UNAM have had a slightly more comfortable path to the quarter finals, as a 2-0 first leg last 16 home win set them on course for a 3-1 aggregate success over Alajuelense. Prior to that, UNAM needed two second half goals from Guillermo Martinez to overturn a first leg deficit against Calvary in the last 32.

Our Vancouver Whitecaps vs Pumas UNAM Prediction
The bookmakers make the Whitecaps reasonably strong favorites in this one, but first leg knockout games can often be cagey affairs, so we think the smart money lies in backing the draw. UMAN have a very poor away record in the competition, but the 1-1 draw at Alajuelense in the last round was a highly resilient display that suggested they have the fortitude to compete with the top teams in the tournament. Meanwhile, the Whitecaps have had a mixed bag of results lately, which makes their odds of 2.15 far too short to back. Our prediction for Vancouver Whitecaps vs Pumas UNAM is: Draw.
