Los Angeles will host Toronto at the BMO Stadium on Wednesday in another round of the 2025 Major League Soccer campaign. The home side are in fine form at the moment and are already looking forward to the post-season as they sit fourth in the Western Conference with 56 points from 31 matches.
They picked up a narrow but well-deserved 1-0 home win over struggling Atlanta United in their game on Sunday night, with in-form forward Denis Bouanga scoring a late winner to record his 13th goal in his last eight games for club and country.
Toronto, meanwhile, have been poor all season and are set to miss out on the playoffs for a fifth consecutive campaign. New signing Dorde Mihailovic found the back of the net for a second game running to rescue a point for the Reds in their 2-2 draw away at Chicago Fire last time out as Robin Fraser's side recorded an eighth consecutive draw in the league.
The visitors sit 12th in the Eastern Conference and will be desperate for a win in their final away game of the campaign.

Los Angeles vs Toronto Prediction
The Black and Gold are on a brilliant five-game winning streak, scoring 16 goals in that period. They are favorites heading into Wednesday's game, although they are set to be without a few key players due to the international break.
The Reds, on the other hand, are winless in their last 10 matches and have won just two of their last 18. They have struggled for results on the road of late and could see defeat against an inspired LAFC side on Wednesday.
Prediction: Los Angeles 2-1 Toronto
