A new era of CONCACAF club tournament play started this year with the international soccer confederation’s Champions Cup.
Previously known as the CONCACAF Champions League, this year’s Champions Cup returns the tournament to its previous name, which it held from its inception in 1962 until 2008.
The all-knockout competition will feature 27 teams from eight leagues and tournaments affiliated with the confederation: Liga MX (Mexico), MLS (United States), Canadian Premier League, U.S. Open Cup, Canadian Championship, Leagues Cup, Central America Cup and Caribbean Cup.
After a first round that took place over the month of February, the round of 16 is set for matches over the next two weeks. The round is split into two legs with each team in the matchup getting to host one game.

CONCACAF Champions Cup 2024 predictions
Here are some of the predictions available for the Champions Cup round of 16.
Herediano vs. Robinhood Prediction
Sportskeeda: Herediano 3, Robinhood 1
Ume Elvis writes, “Herediano defied expectations to get to this stage. They were on a 4-1 deficit with just 45 minutes left in the previous round but managed to turn things around away from home. That was the second in a current seven-game unbeaten streak and Hector Almirano’s side are entering this tie as heavy favorites.”
Philadelphia Union vs. Pachuca Prediction
Sportskeeda: Philadelphia Union 2, Pachuca 2
Joshua Ojele writes, “While Pachuca head into the game as the more in-form side, the MLS outfit have been rock-solid on home turf, and we predict they will do just enough to force a share of the spoils.”
Orlando City vs. Tigres Prediction
Sportskeeda: Orlando City 2, Tigres 1
Soyoye Jedidiah writes, “Orlando’s latest result ended an eight-game unbeaten streak and they will be looking to bounce back here. They have lost just once at the Exploria Stadium since last April and will be hopeful of a positive result this week.”
New England Revolution vs Alajuelense Prediction
Sportskeeda: New England Revolution 0, Alajuelense 1
Jedidiah writes, “Alajuelense… have won two of their last three games and have lost just one of their last six. They have lost just one of their last nine games on the road and should come out on top here.”
Houston Dynamo vs. Columbus Crew Prediction
Sportskeeda: Houston Dynamo 0, Columbus Crew 1
Jedidiah writes, “Columbus are undefeated in their last six competitive outings, picking up five consecutive wins in that period. They are in much better form than their midweek opponents and should come out on top here.”
