Los Angeles FC vs Sporting Kansas City Prediction and Betting Tip- Odds, H2H and Preview Predictions

Los Angeles FC vs Sporting Kansas City Prediction:

As we reach the halfway point in the 2025 MLS season, the Supporters’ Shield standings are starting to take shape, as Los Angeles FC host Kansas City in their final game before the Club World Cup journey gets underway.

After a poor start to the season, LAFC have certainly hit their purple patch at the right time, unbeaten in their last nine games, and they will hope to make it 10 before they get ready to face Chelsea on June 16 to go into the group stage with good momentum from the league.

They will face a very average Sporting Kansas City side, who sit in in 25th place in the Supporters’ Shield standings and have already lost at home 2-0 to LAFC this season and will now need to head to the West coast and look to pick up more important points as they strive to vastly improve upon their dismal 2024 campaign.

As the game approaches, here is everything you need to know about both sides ahead of kick-off.

Los Angeles FC Preview, Form and Standout Players

LAFC Predicted Lineup (4-3-3): Lloris; Hollingshead, Segura, Long, Palencia; Delgado, Jesus, Tillman; Bouanga, Ebobisse, Ordaz.

Los Angeles FC should have a full squad available for selection in this fixture.

LAFC’s matches are never short of goals. They have drawn three matches by a 2-2 scoreline in their last five- against Vancouver, LA Galaxy, and Montreal, while also beating Seattle 4-0 and defeating Club America 2-1 after extra time to secure the 32nd and final FIFA Club World Cup place.

They face very stiff competition in the Club World Cup, so will worry about their defensive record, however, Kansas are not short on goals themselves so we could see a few more goals in this fixture. Bouanga is still riding high off that 115th minute in the last fixture, so he could be crucial for LAFC in their future games.

Sporting Kansas City Preview, Form and Standout Players

Kansas City Predicted Lineup (4-3-3): Pulskamp; Ndenbe, Fernandez, Miller, Brody; Bassong, Bartlett, Garcia; Salloi, Joveljic, Thommy.

Jacob Davis and Nemanja Radoja are both doubts for Monday’s fixture.

Since suffering a 1-0 defeat to Portland, Kansas City have since drawn 2-2 with St. Louis, 0-0 with San Diego and 3-3 to New England before defeating Houston Dynamos 3-1 which sets them up with a four-game unbeaten run heading into Monday.

Joveljic has been in good form in front of goal, scoring four goals in his last three games. If he is able to keep up his scoring form, Kansas certainly have an opportunity to extend their unbeaten run.

Head-to-head Comparison

As mentioned before, Kansas City do not have a good history in this fixture, winning zero of the last nine matches between the sides. To unveil their last win, we would need to ravel back to August 2021.
