The Black and Gold emerged victorious against Simply Rapids when these teams last battled.

Los Angeles FC are set to host Colorado Rapids in the Western Conference clash of the Major League Soccer 2025 season. The interesting contest between the two teams will take place at the BMO Stadium.

Los Angeles Football Club will be at home and they will surely be looking to use it to their advantage. After their lacklustre show in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025, LAFC lost their MLS game against Vancouver Whitecaps as well. They will be under pressure from the start. The Black and Gold will be looking to come up with a different approach here.

Colorado Rapids are also not in the best form. They are placed ninth on the Western Conference MLS points table, which is just a couple of places below LAFC. Simply Rapids are coming in after facing a defeat at the hands of Sporting Kansas City in their last league game.

Players to Watch

Denis Bouanga (LAFC)

He has scored eight goals and has also been able to bag five assists in 16 league games. Bouanga is likely to cause trouble for the opponent’s defence.

Djordje Mihailovic (Colorado Rapids)

The 26-year-old American midfielder has played a crucial role in controlling the midfield for his team this season. Djordje Mihailovic has also played an important role in the final third for the Colorado Rapids. He can create plays and can definitely score goals, thus causing issues in the final third for LAFC.
