The Guerrillas enter this match as heavy underdogs, having struggled to find much success this season, and things will not get any easier for them on Friday when LAGM face off against one of the hottest teams in the CDL.

Los Angeles Thieves have had their bumps in the road this season, but they're one of the leading CDL title contenders and extremely efficient online. Anything less than a 3-0 sweep will be a disappointment.

Los Angeles Thieves have been holding on well this season. Since the end of Stage 1, they've lost just three games, two of which came against the surging Toronto Ultra – in CDL 2025 Stage 2 Major and last week (2-3).

Besides the two losses, the LA Thieves have looked unstoppable. They've recently crushed the Vancouver Surge and Cloud9 New York and picked up two more 3-0 sweeps in Major 2 against the Royal Ravens and C9NY.

Despite the two defeats against Toronto Ultra, LA Thieves remain one of the league's top contenders and top-performing teams, especially online. Their next opponents are the exact opposite.

Los Angeles Guerrillas M8 Form

Los Angeles Guerrillas M8 are in a very rough spot, and even that is an understatement. They're 0-3 in CDL 2025 Major 3 Qualifiers and have managed just two wins since the end of CDL 2025 Major 1 Qualifiers – against Miami Heretics and the struggling Vegas Falcons.

At this stage, the Guerrillas picked up two maps – against the Carolina Royal Raverns and Boston Breach – but even that is hardly inspiring. What's concerning is that the Los Angeles Guerrillas M8 can't seem to win a Hardpoint, nor are they very good on Control either.

And seeing them struggle against mid-table teams inspires very little confidence that the Guerrillas can do well against one of the top CDL contenders.

Verdict

Los Angeles Guerrillas M8 v Los Angeles Thieves

There is not much to say about this game. Los Angeles Thieves are a few tiers above their rivals, the Los Angeles Guerrillas M8, who are weak across all three game modes.

They have shown some signs of life, but the Guerrillas can't seem to win a Hardpoint map, nor are they even remotely better than the Thieves across other game modes.

Barring any major surprises, the Thieves should sweep.
