Inter Miami vs LA Galaxy Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | MLS 2025

The previous fixture between these sides ended on level terms.

Inter Miami are all set to lock horns with LA Galaxy in round 27 of the 2025 Major League Soccer edition. These American clubs are going to produce an intense battle, which will take place at the Chase Stadium.

Inter Miami CF will be at home and will be keen on using it to their advantage. The Herons received a thrashing at the hands of Orlando City in their previous MLS game. It was an underwhelming performance by the Javier Mascherano-led side, who have been in good form recently.

Los Angeles Galaxy have not been at their best this season. Their performances in the Leagues Cup have been decent, but when it comes to the Major League Soccer, they have only been able to win three matches after playing 25 games. They are placed last in the Western Conference standings.
