LA Galaxy vs Los Angeles FC Predictions

• Both teams have scored in five of Galaxy’s last six games.
• Galaxy have scored in eight of their nine home games across all competitions.
• LAFC have scored in nine of their last 11 away games across all competitions.

Out of sorts LA pair face derby date

LAFC sit second in the Western Conference and city rivals Galaxy are second from bottom, but both of these teams head into this midweek LA derby in poor form.

Galaxy have managed just three wins in the league all season and are unbeaten in five, but they have drawn four of those games.

The visitors are the defending MLS champions but they go into the game on the back of two consecutive losses and they have seven defeats in their last 10 in all competitions.

Both teams capable of scoring

Both teams to score looks the best option for our main bet as there have been goals at both ends in five of Galaxy’s last six games.

The hosts have only failed to score in one of their nine home games in all competitions this term, but have also managed just one clean sheet.

LAFC have scored in nine of their last 11 away games and have just one shut-out in their last six games overall, so goals at both ends looks likely.

Galaxy can claim a point

Galaxy may be second from bottom in the West but they are on a five-game unbeaten run in MLS, having drawn their last four games.

That run has included tough trips to St Louis and San Jose, so they can at least claim a point against their local rivals and a 2-2 draw appeals in the correct score market. The hosts have scored eight of their 18 goals in total across their last five games, while LAFC have hit 28 goals in 19 games in total in MLS.

Galaxy forward Preston Judd was on target at San Jose last time out and has two goals in his last three games, including his last home appearance against Sporting Kansas City. Both of those games finished 2-2 and he can add to his haul in another high-scoring stalemate here.
