Inter Miami vs LAFC Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Concacaf Champions Cup 2025

The winner will face either Vancouver or Universidad Nacional in the semifinal.

Inter Miami CF are set to tussle with LAFC in the second leg of the Concacaf Champions Cup quarter-final. This clash is set to take place at Chase Stadium on Thursday, with the home side aiming to turn the tie around with a victory to secure a berth in the semifinal. 

Inter Miami CF made an encouraging start to the new season but has struggled to showcase their best performance in recent times. In the last two matches, they first lost to LAFC in the first leg to suffer their first defeat of the season, and followed it with a 1-1 draw against Toronto in the last match.

This match will be very crucial for them to secure their place in the semifinal. They are trailing by 1-0 aggregate from the first round. 

LAFC, on the other hand, despite their poor start in the league, languish ninth in the standings. However, their form in the cup competitions has been brilliant as they produced a top display in the first leg. The Black and Golds secured a very important win in the first leg thanks to a goal from Nathan Ordaz, which gives them a commanding lead here.

However, their recent form has been concerning. They lost against the Houston Dynamo in the last match.
