New England Revolution vs Los Angeles Football Club – Picks and Predictions (August 16, 2025)

LAFC Aim to Halt Slide in Visit to Revolution

Los Angeles Football Club could feature Heung-min Son in the starting XI for the first time when they visit New England Revolution on Saturday night at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, MA.

Son made his MLS debut last weekend, coming off the bench to win the penalty that led to Denis Bouanga’s equalizer in a 2-2 draw against Chicago Fire FC. After a full week of training, LAFC manager Steve Cherundolo praised the South Korean star’s quick integration, leadership, and influence on younger players.

LAFC (10-6-7, 37 points) are winless in their last three MLS matches (0-1-2) but remain in 5th place in the Western Conference with matches in hand over most playoff contenders.

New England (7-11-7, 28 points) snapped a nine-match winless streak (0-7-2) last week with a 2-0 victory over D.C. United. Goals from Leo Campana and Carles Gil gave the Revs a needed boost, though they still sit eight points out of the East’s final playoff spot with eight matches left.

The Revolution Can Win If…

New England must build on last week’s 2-0 win over D.C. United by maintaining defensive discipline and taking advantage of home support. Carles Gil (9 goals, 7 assists) remains the creative hub, and Leo Campana’s finishing could be decisive if LAFC’s defense leaves gaps. The Revs will also need goalkeeper Henrich Ravas to stay sharp against Bouanga and Son.

LAFC Can Win If…

LAFC’s attack can thrive if Son starts and combines with Denis Bouanga (11 goals) and Cristian Olivera. Cherundolo’s side must control midfield tempo and press effectively to disrupt New England’s rhythm. With matches in hand, this is a crucial opportunity to climb the West table, and LAFC’s road form will be tested.

Key Stats Comparison

The Lean

With Son potentially starting, LAFC’s attack could click at a high level. The Revs’ defense has struggled against top-tier attacking units, and LAFC’s road pace may be too much to handle. Model projection: LAFC 2 – 1 New England.

• Pick: LAFC Moneyline (+140)
