Los Angeles FC vs CF Pachuca Preview and Team News
Los Angeles FC Team News
Los Angeles had an unlucky start to the tournament. After a 1-1 draw in regular time against Mazatlan, the teams headed to penalties. In what turned out to be a seemingly endless marathon shootout, the Mexican side eventually won 11-10.
The MLS representatives have only collected one point so far. Despite dominating in nearly every metric (61% possession, 2.19 xG), Los Angeles couldn’t deliver the decisive blow and suffered a painful defeat in penalties.
Ahead of the clash, there are no major injury concerns. However, we expect some changes in the lineup. Sergi Palencia is likely to return as a right-back, while Denis Bouanga should also feature from the beginning.
Los Angeles FC predicted lineup vs CF Pachuca (4-3-3): Ochoa; Palencia, Tafari, Segura, Smolyakov; Tillman, Saldana, Amaya; Martinez, Ebobisse, Bouanga.
CF Pachuca Team News
Pachuca survived a late scare against San Diego in the opener. What should have been an easy victory for the hosts turned into a five-goal thriller. The Mexican side were leading 3-0, with Alexei Dominguez scoring a brace. However, the lack of concentration cost them two conceded goals before they eventually sealed a 3-2 win.
Pachuca approached the encounter as underdogs, and statistically, they were inferior to their opponents. They posted only 0.55 xG compared to San Diego’s 1.29, but in the end, it was the result that mattered most.
There are no serious injury worries in Pachuca’s camp. We expect the same lineup to feature against Los Angeles.
CF Pachuca predicted lineup vs Los Angeles FC (4-3-3): Moreno; Rodriguez, Bauermann, Barreto, Aceves; Montiel, Pedraza, Guzman; Dominguez, Cadiz, Quinones.

Los Angeles FC vs CF Pachuca Prediction, Odds
- Pick: Pachuca or Draw
- Odds: -170 (Tonybet)
- Correct score prediction: Los Angeles FC 1-1 CF Pachuca
This will be the first-ever meeting between the two sides. Los Angeles are considered favourites, but their inconsistency against Mazatlan cost them dearly and ultimately led to defeat.
Pachuca, on the other hand, looked more solid in their opening match. While they lost focus in the last minutes, they shouldn’t be written off easily. They’re expected to play from the defence, with counterattacks as their main weapon.
Los Angeles will be eager to bounce back after a loss. However, Pachuca look in a much better shape right now and should be able to claim at least one point in regular time.
Los Angeles FC vs CF Pachuca Betting Tip
- Pick: Both Teams to Score
- Odds: -162 (Tonybet)
Los Angeles come into the clash on a mixed run of form. They’ve conceded in each of their last five matches at home, including a narrow 0-1 loss to Portland and a 3-3 draw with LA Galaxy.
Pachuca aren’t the best defensive team either. While they have a strong momentum in the Liga MX, it’ll be difficult to keep a clean sheet on the road.
Alexei Dominguez, who was superb in his last appearance, is expected to spearhead the attack. With LAFC struggling to keep clean sheets, we anticipate a tight affair with goals at both ends.
