Los Angeles FC vs Club America Predictions

• LAFC are unbeaten in eight.
• Club America have five defeats in their last six away games.
• Club America have just three wins in their last 12 games overall.

LAFC and Club America battle for final Club World Cup spot

Leon’s expulsion from the Club World Cup means that MLS outfit LAFC and Mexico’s Club America have a chance to join the summer’s tournament via a play-in game on Saturday.

LAFC are the team in the better form and they have the advantage of this game being played in Los Angeles.

Club America have a reasonable record against MLS teams, they beat St Louis and drew with Colorado Rapids in the Leagues Cup last year, but LAFC at their BMO Stadium home may be a step too far for Las Águilas.

LAFC are unbeaten in eight overall and they have been excellent at home all season, winning eight of their 10 games at this venue across all competitions (D1, L1).

Club America have been poor on their travels of late with five defeats and a draw in their last six trips and in general they’ve been out of sorts, winning just three of their last 12 games overall.

As such, an LAFC win looks the standout bet and a 2-0 win for the Black and Gold has a chance in the correct score market. The LA outfit have scored at least twice in eight successive games and exactly twice in six of those, while Club America have failed to score in four successive away games.

Denis Bouanga has seven goals in his last eight games for LAFC and the Gabon striker looks the best bet for an anytime goal.
