Correct score prediction: Los Angeles 2-0 Mazatlan
Mazatlan’s recent away results do not inspire much confidence, as they have a 0-2-6 win-draw-loss record in their last six competitive away games, failing to score in five of them.
Los Angeles, on the other hand, have won seven of their last 11 home games across all competitions, with two draws and two defeats. They should be able to defeat a struggling Mazatlan side at home.

Most recent H2Hs: First meeting
Although these teams will meet for the first time on Wednesday, Los Angeles FC have a 6-2-5 win-draw-loss record in 13 previous clashes with Mexican sides, while Mazatlan have a 3-1-2 record in six encounters with teams from the USA.
Los Angeles FC preview: No new absentees
Los Angeles FC started July in electric fashion, picking up three consecutive wins against Colorado, Dallas and Minnesota, but have become anaemic in recent times, drawing LA Galaxy and losing to Portland Timbers in their last two outings to head into this contest lacking momentum.
However, this break from the MLS regular season could be a perfect opportunity for LA, who were quarterfinalists in this competition in 2023 and runners-up in 2024, to find their footing and try to continue their impressive journey in this annual event.
Aaron Long will not be available for this game due to an Achilles tendon rupture.
Predicted lineup: Lloris (GK), Hollingshead, Nielsen, Tafari, Smoliakov, Tillman, Jesus, Delgado, Dilrosun, Ordaz & Bouanga.

Mazatlan preview: Hoping to improve their fortunes
Mazatlan's struggles continued with a 1-0 defeat at Pachuca last weekend. They have now managed only one win in their last seven competitive fixtures.
On the positive side, the visitors finished the contest at Estadio Miguel Hidalgo with zero injury problems. This should give coach Robert Siboldi the opportunity to put together a strong team for this encounter.
Predicted lineup: Gutierrez (GK), Colula, Almada, Caetano, Saavedra, Rodriguez, Esquivel, Herrera, Benedetti, Hernandez & Duarte.

Player to watch: Denis Bouanga
Denis Bouanga failed to score or register an assist for the first time in July last weekend. The former Saint-Etienne forward has been in sensational form, scoring five goals and providing two assists in seven appearances in July. He will fancy his chances against Mazatlan.
