MLS Week 25 Odds: LAFC Bounced Back Against the Western Conference
For most of the season, the Wednesday games have not been all that exciting. However, the matches from yesterday gave fans what they asked for and even more! LAFC bounced back against the Western Conference Leaders, FC Cincinnati bounced back to secure a draw, and San Jose scored a potential Puskas-winning goal! Will MLS week 25 top that?!
Here is everything you need to know going into Saturday’s MLS week 25 action.
Current MLS Standings
In the West, St. Louis CITY SC stayed at the top of the table despite losing to third-place LAFC. LAFC is only two points behind with a game in hand. The Sounders had a disappointing loss to San Jose to drop them to third and could continue to fall if they don’t find form. The middle of the pack is heating up, with Salt Lake and Vancouver finding a resurgence in form as well.
Every place below FC Cincinnati in the East keeps changing week by week! This is what makes MLS such an exciting league to watch. Nashville’s form has dropped, and New England has found theirs and is back to second.
