Prediction: 2-2
Los Angeles Galaxy
All eyes will be on BMO Stadium when Los Angeles FC and Los Angeles Galaxy face each other in the Los Angeles derby on Sunday morning. The Black and Gold have been involved in some high-scoring games of late and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Talented midfielder David Martinez is banned for the match, while fellow midfielder Lorenzo Dellavalle is sidelined with injury.
LA Galaxy, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Sporting Kansas City and Seattle Sounders. As the visitors look sharp in front of goal as well, we are tempted to place our bets on over 2.5 goals. In their last meeting in the MLS Los Angeles FC recorded a 4-2 win over Los Angeles Galaxy. As for the visiting side, defender Jalen Neal misses out with injury, while experienced defender Martin Caceres should recover in time to take part in the local derby.
Highlighted Player (Martin Caceres):
Martin Caceres is a widely travelled and well known Uruguayan professional footballer who plays for Juventus. Primarily a central defender, Caceres is known for his tenacity, pace, strength, tackling and aerial ability. He is versatile and can operate as full-back on either sides too. Caceres started his career at Defensor Sporting and became a regular at a very young age.
In 2007, he went to Spanish side Villarreal but never officially appeared for them. He then was snapped up by Barcelona in 2008 for a reported transfer fee of € 16.5 million. But his only season at the Camp Nou was marred with injuries and moved to Juventus in 2012 via a short stop at Sevilla.
Caceres made his full senior team debut in 2007 and was a successful member of the team that won the 2011 Copa America. He also played at the 2014 World Cup and has 68 national caps to his credit.
Highlighted Team (Los Angeles FC):
Seeing that Los Angeles FC will be competing in Major League Soccer from the 2018 season, the club chiefs did well to reinforce the squad. Several high-profile players joined the club in the winter of 2018, with Mexican ace Carlos Vela being the biggest name to sign a deal with LAFC.
The new expansion team will host their rivals at Banc of California, the stadium which is planned to be opened on April 29, 2018. The venue should hold up to 22,000 spectators. Los Angeles FC will be coached by Bob Bradley in the 2018 MLS campaign and they will be wearing black and gold kits in the USA professional soccer league. Speaking of their bitterest rivals, there will be fireworks when Los Angeles FC face LA Galaxy in the Major League Soccer.
District 9 Ultras and Black Army 1850 are considered the club's biggest supporters groups and it has to be noted that they used to support Chivas USA. Los Angeles FC were founded on October 30, 2014.
