Our prediction for this MLS match:
Atlanta United and Los Angeles FC face each other at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of the weekend. The Five Stripes failed to win the previous eight league matches and they face yet another uphill task against Los Angeles FC. The likes of Derrick Williams, Tyler Wolff, Thiago Almada, and Georgios Giakoumakis are sidelined with injuries for the home side.
The Black and Gold, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Vancouver Whitecaps and St Louis City. As Gabon forward Denis Bouanga has found his best form of late, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on the visiting team. The visitors will be without Ryan Hollingshead, David Martinez, and Lorenzo Dellavalle in Sunday’s game. Steve Cherundolo is likely to stick to the 4-3-3 formation.
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.
