The MLS clash between CF Montreal and Los Angeles Football Club is set for Sunday, 25 May 2025. Fans across Europe can catch the action live at 01:30 CEST (Italy, Germany, France, Spain) and at 00:30 BST in the UK. This late-night kickoff promises a fast-paced encounter under the bright lights of Stade Saputo.
CF Montreal will be eager to bounce back after a difficult run, while LAFC aim to maintain momentum before their upcoming Club World Cup play-off against Club América. Expect plenty of drama as both sides vie for supremacy in the Eastern and Western Conferences respectively.
How are both teams coming into this?
CF Montreal have endured a rocky patch, with five of their last six games producing over 3.5 goals. Defensive lapses have cost them points, and they’ve struggled to keep clean sheets at home. Offensively they can be potent at times, but inconsistency has left them languishing near the bottom of the Eastern Conference.
Los Angeles FC, on the other hand, are firing on all cylinders. Their fluid attack and solid backline have delivered impressive results, and they enter this fixture with confidence. With eyes already on the Club World Cup playoff, LAFC will look to sharpen their game and secure a vital road victory in Canada.
Our forecast
Given Montreal’s defensive frailties and LAFC’s clinical edge, we anticipate a high-scoring affair tilted in favour of the visitors. Montreal may find the net once, but LAFC’s attacking firepower should prove decisive.
Our correct score prediction is a 1-3 victory for LAFC, with the visitors controlling large spells of the game and exploiting Montreal’s backline on multiple occasions.
