Los Angeles FC vs Pachuca Prediction

The Black and Gold are winless in their last three games, scoring just one goal in their last two games. This is a must-win match for the 2024 runners-up as, according to the new format, only four of the 18 MLS teams will qualify for the knockout phase.

Denis Bouanga and Nathan Ordaz started from the bench against Mazatlan and might get the nod to start.

Los Tuzos head into the match in great form, winning their last four games. They are unbeaten in their last five meetings against American teams, scoring at least three goals in three games, and will look to build on that form.

Considering the current form of the two teams and their goalscoring records, the Liga MX side are expected to eke out a narrow win.
