Columbus Crew vs. Los Angeles FC is the final of the 2024 Leagues Cup. The rematch of last year’s final will take place on August 25 at Lower.com Field in Columbus, where the Crew suffered just one loss in more than a year. The loss in question happened to their state rivals, FC Cincinnati.
On top of that, Columbus Crew have been playing sensational soccer in the 2024 Leagues Cup. In fact, the reigning MLS Cup winners are the only team that has a 100% record in this tournament. However, Los Angeles FC players have really upped their game lately, coming to the final after thrashing the Colorado Rapids 4:0 in the semi. Can they do something similar to the Crew?
Before Betting on Columbus Crew vs. Los Angeles FC 2024 Leagues Cup Final
The boys from Ohio won the last two Columbus Crew vs. Los Angeles FC duels. Actually, the last time these two met, the Crew destroyed LAFC 5:1. Sure, two of their players got a red card, but when their first player got sent off, LAFC were already 3:0 down.
This happened just a couple of weeks ago in Los Angeles, where Steve Cherundolo’s men tend to do okay. It’s their performances on the road that aren’t great. They’re 5-2-4 in away games in the MLS this season.
This should worry LAFC a lot ahead of the 2024 Leagues Cup final as Columbus Crew are great at home. At Lower.com Field, these guys are 6-4-1 in the MLS.
They’re even more impressive when it comes to home games in the 2024 Leagues Cup. They entered this tournament in the knockout stage, skipping the group for being the MLS Cup winners. They’ve won every game so far, with the quarterfinal game with NYCFC being the only one they won on penalties.
Meanwhile, LAFC went 1-1 in the group stage but then went on to win every single game in the knockouts. This sounds great, but none of the teams they defeated is anywhere near Columbus in terms of player quality.

But who do we think will end up with the Leagues Cup trophy in their possession? We think it’s going to be Columbus Crew. Based on what we’ve seen from this team over the last couple of months, they look set to add another trophy to their collection.
