Inter Miami vs Los Angeles Galaxy: MLS Prediction (17.08.2025)

On 17 August 2025 at 06:30 WIB in Florida, an MLS match will take place between Inter Miami and Los Angeles Galaxy. Bookmakers see the home side as clear favorites. Let’s look at the teams’ schedules, recent form, and make a match prediction.

Inter Miami

The team’s MLS schedule in recent weeks has been very tight. Although there was a two-week break in the league, clubs played three Leagues Cup matches against Mexican sides. During this period, the “Herons” defeated Atlas and UNAM Pumas, while the match against Necaxa ended in a draw, with Inter Miami winning via penalties. However, returning to MLS action without Messi, the team suffered a heavy away defeat to Orlando City (1–4). Defensive issues are worth noting: in their last 13 matches, Inter Miami have kept a clean sheet only once, against Cincinnati.

Los Angeles Galaxy

The “Los Galacticos” are fifth in the Western Conference with 37 points from 23 matches. In comparison, Inter Miami have 42 points from the same number of matches but sit sixth in the Eastern Conference. In the Leagues Cup, Galaxy’s results were similar to the “Herons”: they defeated Tijuana and Santos Laguna convincingly—5–2 and 4–0. Against Cruz Azul, they drew but lost on penalties. Returning to MLS after the Leagues Cup break didn’t go well for Galaxy either, as they were thrashed 0–4 by Seattle in their last match.

Head-to-Head Statistics

These teams have met only twice. In 2021, Los Angeles won 3–2. Their most recent meeting was in February 2024 and ended in a 1–1 draw.

Prediction

For the Inter Miami vs. Los Angeles Galaxy match, our prediction is a high-scoring game. Both teams have defensive weaknesses but strong attacks. Therefore, the recommended bet is on over 3 total goals at odds of 1.58.
