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

The previous meeting between these sides ended on level terms.

Los Angeles FC (LAFC) are ready to battle the LA Galaxy in the round 24 match of the Major League Soccer 2025 edition. The interesting derby between the two Western Conference teams is scheduled to take place at the BMO Stadium.

Los Angeles FC are coming back to winning ways after their lacklustre FIFA Club World Cup 2025 run. The Black and Gold are coming in after defeating Minnesota United in their previous league encounter. They are placed fourth on the Western Conference MLS points table and will now be looking for another win here.

Meanwhile, LA Galaxy yet again faced a defeat, but this time at the hands of Austin FC. The Galaxy are in the last spot on the points table. They have only been able to win three of their 23 Major League Soccer games this season.

Los Angeles Galaxy will be looking to step up here. But the upcoming fixture is not going to be an easy affair for them.

Players to Watch

Denis Bouanga (LAFC)

Bouanga also scored the match-winning goal for LAFC in their last league game when he successfully converted a spot kick during the first half.

Marco Reus (LA Galaxy)

Despite their poor run, Marco Reus has been their most efficient player this season. The 36-year-old midfielder has 12 goal involvements in 16 Major League Soccer appearances during the current campaign. He will be looking to step up as the Galaxy need him now more than ever.
