Looking for their first Leagues Cup win in 2025, Los Angeles FC will take to the field this weekend against Pachuca on Friday at BMO Stadium in a Round 2 clash. The Mexicans managed to beat San Diego FC in their opener, while the LA side were beaten on penalties after a 1-1 draw in regulation time.
Los Angeles FC team news
The shock opening defeat was Los Angeles FC's first loss in their opening game in the history of the Leagues Cup. However, one recurring negative statistic has the team worried for the rest of the competition: a 0% record (three defeats in three matches) in penalty shootouts in this tournament.
Pressed for a win on matchday two, Steve Cherundolo's side will be looking to end a three-game losing streak and avoid consecutive defeats for the first time in the tournament's history. However, LA FC have never lost a match at BMO Stadium in regulation time.
Los Angeles FC predicted lineup vs Pachuca: Ochoa; Palencia, Tafari, Segura, Smolyakov; Tillman, Delgado, Amaya; Martinez, Ebobisse, Bouanga
Pachuca team news
Pachuca's debut in the Leagues Cup was fraught with apprehension, as after opening up a three-goal lead against San Diego in 67 minutes, they conceded two goals in stoppage time, giving them a window of opportunity to react due to a lack of concentration.
At the same time, the Mexicans managed to extend their run of consecutive wins to four in all competitions. On the other hand, Pachuca haven't beaten a team outside of Mexico in official matches since their shock 3-0 defeat of South American champions Botafogo in the 2024 FIFA Intercontinental Cup.
Pachuca predicted lineups vs Los Angeles FC: Moreno; Rodriguez, Bauermann, Barreto, Aceves; Montiel, Pedraza; Dominguez, Guzman, Togni; Cadiz
