The two Los Angeles teams meet again. The last time they played one another was in September when Galaxy won by 3-0. LAFC now are looking for a revenge, and according to the odds released by online bookmakers, this team is likely to get it. But, what do handicappers from the FatCatBet think? You will have to read this LA Galaxy @ LAFC betting prediction to find out!
Los Angeles FC Expected to Win
It’s too crazy to think that we might see this team in the MLS Cup this season. At the moment of writing, LAFC is in #4 in the Western Conference with 7 wins, 4 draws, and 7 defeats. Their form seems to be heavily reliant on the form of their two best players, Diego Rossi and Bradley Wright-Phillips.
Diego Rossi is LAFC’s top scorer with 7 goals to his name so far. Unfortunately for his team, he’s been out of the squad for the last couple of weeks. Rossi is currently in the COVID-19 quarantine and it’s not sure whether he’ll get to play in the Los Angeles Derby.
Bradley Wright-Phillips, on the other hand, is fit and ready to play. The veteran winger has been brilliant this season with 5 goals and 5 assists.
Galaxy Should Not Be Underestimated
Los Angeles Galaxy is at the very bottom of the Conference table. However, this doesn’t mean they’re the worst team. They’ve just played a game fewer than most other teams, including their city rival. With a win on Sunday, they could get to a 4-point distance from LAFC.
Can they do it? They certainly have the manpower for that. All of their key men are fit and ready for the big game. This includes both Pavon and Lletget, the players who simply destroyed LAFC the last time these two teams played.
Another thing going in Galaxy’s favor is that they’re coming into the big derby after a win over Vancouver Whitecaps. That was their first win after a series of humiliating defeats. Before that, they lost 6 straight games, with a total goal score of 5-19.
LA Galaxy @ LAFC Betting Picks
We believe that Galaxy should not be underestimated, but if you’re worried about backing the underdog, why not go with goals. We’re bound to see a lot of them. Over 2.5 seems destined to happen!
