MLS All Stars vs Liga MX All-Stars Prediction 24 July 2025
🔊 Can Messi and his team get their revenge against the Mexican league giants after last year's rout? The 2024 exhibition match clearly favored the southern neighbors of the Americans. Despite the presence of big names on both sides-Alba, Busquets, Lloris, Gignac-headliner Lionel Messi was absent. In matches like these, the team with the more star-studded lineup usually gets the nod, but we'll attempt to provide an unbiased prediction.
Head-to-Head
📊 The North American stars are set to clash for the fourth time since 2021. The exception was in 2023, when Arsenal visited the MLS. Despite a 1-4 defeat to Liga MX last year, the first two encounters were fiercely contested, with goals exchanged but ultimately ending in victories for the Americans: 1-1 (3-2 on penalties) and 2-1. Therefore, fans should not expect a goal drought in the upcoming match.
Head-to-head statistics MLS All Stars - Liga MX All-Stars
MLS All-Stars Team Overview
🔴 Since 2014, American audiences have consistently witnessed European stars showcasing their talents on local fields. Over the years, Bayern Munich, Tottenham, Real Madrid, Juventus, Atletico Madrid, and Arsenal (twice) have made appearances. Most of these matches have been highly competitive, with Bayern and Tottenham leaving their summer tour with defeats (2-1).
📝 The line-ups for the upcoming match have already been confirmed. Alongside Lionel Messi, Jordi Alba (Inter Miami), Hirving Lozano (San Diego), and Diego Rossi (Columbus Crew) have confirmed their participation. Aleksey Miranchuk (Atlanta), who ranks among the top 11 most expensive players in the league, will not be in the squad, so someone else will need to step up for those thunderous strikes from outside the box. The team will be managed by Austin's coach Nico Estevez.

Liga MX All-Stars Team Overview
🟢 While Mexican teams might not boast the storied rivalries of their northern neighbors, they certainly have the ability to excite their own fans and unsettle American audiences. In their first encounter, the tenacious Latin Americans pushed the match to a penalty shootout, and in their latest meeting, they delivered a resounding 4-1 victory.
📝 Over the years, Liga MX has attracted stars like Guillermo Ochoa, Dani Alves, and André-Pierre Gignac. Gignac moved to Tigres back in 2015 and has since become a true legend in the Mexican league, though he won't be playing on July 24. However, fans can look forward to seeing Sergio Ramos and Sergio Canales (both from Monterrey), as well as James Rodríguez (León) take the field. The team will be coached by André Jardine, who also manages Club América.

⚽️ Goal Prediction
The nature of the match suggests an open game with goals from both sides. A near-certain bet would be on both teams to score (yes), a trend seen in all 4 of their head-to-head encounters. In such a match, the teams are unlikely to focus on defensive strategies, so betting on goals should come through without much difficulty.
Editorial Prediction
Bookmakers don't see a clear favorite in the upcoming clash, setting the odds at 2.3 to indicate equal chances for both sides. We agree with this assessment and advise against favoring one team purely based on the star power in their lineups. We predict the match could very well end in a 2-2 draw.
This exhibition match promises to be an end-to-end affair, aiming to entertain the local crowd. The game is likely to be quite vertical, avoiding overburdening players who are in the midst of their domestic league campaigns. A smart bet here would be on over 3.5 goals.
