Los Angeles FC Preview

Steven Cherundolo's men were victorious in their midweek clash, winning 1-0 on the road against Minnesota United. Obtaining their 10th win of the campaign, the Black and Gold Falcons have built a healthy cushion in the table, widening the postseason  gap from Real Salt Lake by nine points, who occupy the position below the playoff cutoff line. 

LAFC is cruising thanks to two of its class players on the squad. The hero on Wednesday, Dennis Bouanga, scored from the spot kick area, which proved to be enough to seal all three points. The striker has been possessing the hot foot of late, finding the back of the net in three straight outings, bringing his season goal total to 11. 

Between the sticks, the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner with France, Hugo Lloris, has been invincible lately. On Wednesday, the 38-year-old made three stops to collect his third consecutive clean sheet, now tallying up to eight during MLS play this term.

All the goodwill Greg Vanney brought to this team last year has dissipated in 2025, as it’s been a rough display for the defending champions of MLS. The LA Galaxy are tied with CF Montreal as the worst side in the competition, only acquiring 15 points through 23 contests. 

In his first full season with the Galaxy, Marco Reus is, to no surprise, carrying the offensive load for the club. The ex-Borussia Dortmund star has cataloged five goals and six assists during 17 appearances in 2025. Coming off in the 85th minute on Wednesday against Austin FC, Reus saw his three-game run of garnering a goal contribution conclude.
