Our prediction for this MLS match:
Charlotte will be aiming to extend their winning run to four games when they take on Los Angeles Galaxy on Sunday morning. Charlotte look unstoppable at the moment and, as a result, they are seen as slim favourites to beat LA Galaxy at Bank of America Stadium. Both Liel Abada and Brandon Cambridge are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The visitors, on the other hand, have drawn each of their last three league matches. As Galaxy conceded four goals in total in the last two MLS games, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the in-form hosts. Greg Vanney should have a full squad to choose from for Sunday’s encounter. In their last meeting in the Major League Soccer Karol Swiderski’s goal helped Charlotte beat Los Angeles Galaxy and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
Highlighted Team (Los Angeles Galaxy):
Los Angeles Galaxy are probably the most famous American soccer club. The club have been participating in the MLS since 1996 and San Jose Earthquakes are considered their bitterest rivals. A number of top-class players were part of the team in the past, but, no doubt, David Beckham is the club’s most significant star. The former Manchester United star played for LA Galaxy from 2007 to 2012 and he scored 18 goals in 98 appearances in the league for the club.
Fellow England international Steven Gerrard is yet another Premier League ace who joined LA Galaxy. Stevie G signed a $9 million deal with the club in June, 2015. One year before he arrived to Los Angeles, the Galaxy won their fifth MLS Cup, with the team beating New England Revolution (2-1) in the final of the tournament, but winning the CONCACAF Champions League in 2000 is considered the club’s biggest success. The MLS outfit outplayed Olimpia of Honduras in the title game, with Ezra Hendrickson scoring the winning goal ten minutes before the final whistle.
Los Angeles Galaxy play their home games at StubHub Center, the stadium that was opened on June 1, 2003. The capacity of the venue is 27.000.
