Los Angeles FC vs LA Galaxy Predictions

• LA Galaxy have lost 14 of 23 matches this term, including eight of 12 trips
• The previous six meetings between the two sides have seen BTTS land
• LAFC have won their last five home matches

Hosts to edge El Trafico

LA Galaxy’s MLS Cup defence is in tatters, with the side losing 14 of their 23 matches this season. Their struggles continued in their last game, as they were beaten 2-1 at home by Austin in midweek.

The Galaxy have the worst record in the Western Conference, so a derby clash against LAFC is a concern. The hosts have won their three games since returning from the Club World Cup, putting them in a strong position in the west.

The hosts have won eight of their 11 home matches this season, including each of their previous five.

Putting away the weakest sides has been an issue for LAFC, as they’ve drawn all three of their clashes with the league’s worst sides 2-2. Those defensive issues should be a concern here, as the Galaxy are slightly underperforming their xG on the road. The visitors have scored in six of their last seven starts, so they can cause problems here.

The last six clashes between the pair have seen both teams score, so the visitors can find the net. However, the Galaxy are winless on the road this term, losing eight of 12 matches.
