DC United vs. LAFC Odds
Game Preview
DC United had two ties before losing two straight games. At first, we saw the Revolution take three points in Washington, 0-3, and after that, United suffered a 3-1 defeat to Charlotte on the road. So it’s really no wonder seeing them outside the play-in zone, though, with chances to enter the postseason.
Only one of their last 10 games didn’t end with both teams netting. Most were over 2.5 goals. DC’s forward, Denis Bouanga, leads the squad with 11 goals and 4 assists.
Marc Dos Santos and his LAFC are still third in the MLS West, despite their three-game winless streak. They would lose to San Diego and Colorado Rapids, 1-0 both, before playing 1-1 against the Timbers at home.
Their matches don’t include too many goals. To be precise, the previous 7 LAFC games saw under 2.5 hits. The team from Los Angeles boasts the best defense in the West and the second-best in MLS, allowing only 22 goals.
DC United vs. LAFC Head to Head
These two franchises haven’t met since 2023, when LAFC beat DC 1-0 in Los Angeles.
DC United vs. LAFC Predictions
There is too much individual quality in LAFC for them to miss a chance to take three points here. Dos Santos’ team isn’t in good shape, but neither is DC, and when looking overall, we can’t bet against Son, Reus, Bouanga, and one of the best defenses in the league.
