After getting embarrassed by an English Premier League side last year, the Major League Soccer All-Stars look to bounce back in a more familiar format when they face the Liga MX All-Stars on Wednesday in the 2024 MLS All-Star Game at Lower.com Field in Columbus, Ohio. The MLS All-Stars hosted Arsenal of the EPL in last year’s midseason exhibition and suffered a 5-0 loss in Washington D.C. In each of the previous two campaigns, the club squared off against the Liga MX All-Stars and emerged victorious both times. The MLS All-Stars defeated the Mexican side on penalties in 2021 before winning a 2-1 decision the following year.
Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. ET. The MLS squad is the -135 favorite (risk $135 to win $100) in the latest MLS All-Stars vs. Liga MX All-Stars odds, while the Mexican side is a +270 underdog. A 90-minute draw is priced at +320, and the over/under for total goals scored is 3.5.

Why you should back the MLS All-Stars
Unfortunately for both the team and the fans in Columbus, several of MLS’ top players won’t be on the pitch on Wednesday, as Inter Miami teammates Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez are nursing injuries while Real Salt Lake’s Cristian Arango, who leads the league with 17 goals, is serving a suspension. The side still has plenty of talent, however, as players from 18 MLS teams are on the roster, with the host Columbus Crew leading the way with five participants. One member of the Crew on the club is striker Cucho Hernandez, who is tied for fifth in the league with 13 goals this season.
Why you should back the Liga MX All-Stars
The Liga MX All-Stars should have an advantage in regard to stamina, as the new Liga MX season started just a few weeks ago. Two players who are among the top scorers in Liga MX thus far are on the All-Star roster, as midfielder Cesar Huerta of Pumas UNAM and Tigres UANL striker Andre-Pierre Gignac both have netted a pair of goals. The 23-year-old Huerta recorded 11 goals in 37 matches with Pumas in 2023-24.
