Get ready for an exciting showdown in Major League Soccer as Los Angeles Football Club v Sporting Kansas City takes centre stage on June 9, 2025. This Round 16 clash kicks off at BMO Stadium, with the action scheduled for 03:00 CEST in Italy, Germany, France and Spain, and 02:00 BST in the UK.
The atmosphere will be electric as around 22,000 fans pack the stands, eager to see whether LAFC can capitalise on home advantage or if Sporting Kansas City will spoil the party in Southern California.
How are both teams coming into this?
Los Angeles FC arrive in mixed form, currently sitting 15th in the Western Conference with 23 points. They’re beginning a two-game homestand and will be keen to turn BMO Stadium into a fortress after dropping points on the road in recent weeks. With home support behind them, LAFC will look to kick-start a push up the table.
Sporting Kansas City, on the other hand, find themselves in a tough spot at 25th overall with just 16 points. The road trip won’t be easy, especially against a side that thrives in front of its own fans. KC will need to tighten up defensively and find a spark in attack if they are to climb out of the bottom of the standings.
Our forecast
We expect Los Angeles FC to press from the outset, using their high-energy style to control possession and create chances. The home side’s recent struggles have mainly come on the road, so backers can be confident in a strong showing at BMO Stadium.
Sporting Kansas City may frustrate early with a compact setup, but we foresee LAFC breaking through in the second half. A 2-1 victory for the hosts seems the most likely outcome, though a narrow win could see KC grab a consolation goal on the counter.
