MLS All-Stars vs Liga MX All-Stars Preview & Picks
We are expecting goals in this third edition of his All-Star matchup.
The goals have tended to flow when the MLS All-Stars have been in action over the years, and since this matchup was introduced both nets have bulged in both meetings.
- Both teams have scored in 7 of MLS All-Stars' last 9 games
- Liga MX All-Stars have seen both teams score in their last 2 games against MLS All-Stars
Head To Head
- MLS All-Stars lead the all-time series 2-0
- MLS All-Stars won 2-1 when the two teams last met in August 2022
MLS All-Stars Form
MLS All-Stars have a mixed record from nine games played since 2014.
The US selection fell to a 5-0 defeat in their most recent contest against Arsenal last summer.
Seven of their nine previous fixtures saw both teams scoring, including a 2-1 win against the Liga MX All-Stars two years ago.
Legendary Inter Miami duo Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez have been ruled out of Wednesday's contest due to injury.
Led by Wilfried Nancy, the Columbus boss has a 30-man squad to choose from.
Cucho Hernandez, Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba and Ryan Gauld are among those included in the MLS selection.
Liga MX All-Stars Form
Liga MX All-Stars come together for only their third-ever fixture.
The Mexican-based selection lost both previous games against their US All-Star counterparts, including a 2-1 defeat in Minnesota two years ago.
The Mexican side also lost their first-ever contest against the stateside selection, with a penalty shootout defeat following a 1-1 draw in 2021.
Under the leadership of Club América head coach André Jardine, LIGA MX travels to the United States with a 28-man roster available.
Nelson Deossa, Oussama Idrissi, and Salomón Rondón are included in the squad, with all three having played vital roles in CF Pachuca's victory against Columbus Crew in the 2024 Concacaf Champions Cup.
Veteran El Tri midfielder Andrés Guardado and Tigres UANL forward André-Pierre Gignac are also available for selection.
Verdict
Previous meetings have proved competitive and entertaining, and I see no reason for that to change on Wednesday.
I am putting my faith in both teams scoring at Lower.com Field.
