Sporting Kansas City vs Los Angeles Galaxy prediction and betting tips on May 5, 2025
MLS USA
In the regular MLS season on May 5, 2025, Sporting Kansas City will play Los Angeles Galaxy. This is a direct clash between clubs in the lower part of their conference table.
Our Prediction for Sporting Kansas City vs Los Angeles Galaxy
The team from Missouri collected only 31 points last season. Only the completely underperforming San Jose Earthquakes did worse in the West—of course, there was no chance for a playoff run. However, they did manage to win the US Open Cup! Their opponent from California scored 64 points, finishing second in the conference only by tiebreakers. But then they swept through the playoffs and won the MLS Cup.
In the new season, the Kansas City club was Messi and company’s first opponent in the CONCACAF Champions Cup—and they were no match for them. Meanwhile, Sporting started MLS with just one point in six rounds, but then began alternating between wins and losses. The champion has been disappointing so far. In the CONCACAF Champions Cup, after eliminating Herediano, they lost to Tigres (0-0 and 2-3). They haven't had any MLS wins either. In the previous round, Portland Timbers lost at home 2-4.
Radoja and company are scoring 1.6 goals per game in MLS but concede even more—2.1 per game. The visitors' numbers are even worse: just 0.8 goals scored and 2.0 conceded per match.
