LA Galaxy vs. LAFC Odds
Game Preview
Galaxy has an interesting record of 5 wins, losses, and ties with a neutral goal difference of 22 scored and conceded goals. They are currently 9th in the MLS West, hanging on to the last place that leads to the play-in.
Greg Vanney and his unit had two friendlies during the World Cup pause: one against El Salvador, which they lost 3-0, and the other against Club America, which they won 1-0.
LAFC also met El Salvador, beating the rivals routinely, 3-0. Marc dos Santos’ boys are 3rd in the West, though they have 5 fewer points than the leaders and are close to the play-in zone, as they have a game or two in hand over their rivals.
El Trafico Head to Head
There have been 26 El Trafico fixtures so far, with Galaxy winning 10, LAFC 9, and 7 ties. 9 of the last 10 encounters have seen both teams netting and over 2.5 goals. The previous two were ties, 2-2 and 3-3.
El Trafico Predictions
Goals are our choice. We pick over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring, due to the nature of their previous matchups and their recent results against other units.
