The majority of the field is set for the next round of the 2025 Leagues Cup. The LA Galaxy not only have to win on Thursday night when they face Santos, but they also need to win big.
A victory of three goals or more should propel the reigning MLS Cup winners into the Knockout Stage of the Leagues Cup. The LA Galaxy didn't make it that far last year when they lost 3-1 to the Seattle Sounders.
For what has been a very trying and disappointing regular season in MLS for the Galaxy, they have played fairly better in Cup tournaments.
