Los Angeles FC vs Toronto FC Predictions

• Both teams have scored in five of LAFC’s last seven games.
• There have been goals at both ends in seven of Toronto’s last eight games.
• LAFC are on a five-game winning run.

Little at stake as LAFC host Toronto

LAFC and Toronto meet in MLS in the early hours of Thursday morning in a game where neither side has a great deal left to play for.

The Black and Gold have already secured a place in the Playoffs, while Toronto know they won’t be involved in the postseason.

LAFC are still fighting for a higher seed, but they are more likely to be saving their energy for an MLS Cup tilt, and the best angle here looks to be backing goals at both ends rather than focusing on the result.

LAFC are on a 12-game scoring streak across all competitions, but they have also conceded in nine of those fixtures.

Toronto have endured a tough season but have found a bit of form to a degree recently, as they have now drawn eight games in a row – with only one of those games finishing goalless.

With home advantage, LAFC can grind out a win and end Toronto’s stalemate streak. The Californian club scores on average just under two goals per game at home, so a 2-1 win for LAFC looks a reasonable correct score prediction.

Denis Bouanga is locked on 24 goals with Lionel Messi in the battle for the MLS Golden Boot award. The LAFC forward has scored in six successive league games – hitting 10 goals with two hat-tricks during that run – and he can continue his hot streak against Toronto.
