With the playoffs still within reach, DC United will be desperate to turn their fortunes around when they take on Los Angeles FC. The capital club suffered back-to-back 3-0 and 3-1 defeats to New England Revolution and Charlotte, extending their poor run to just one win in their last 10 matches. Defensive problems have been a major issue, with DC conceding 2.33 goals per home game during that period. Defender Silvan Hefti is suspended after accumulating yellow cards.
Los Angeles FC, meanwhile, arrive without a win in their last four MLS games, but their recent performances suggest better results could be around the corner. The Black and Gold registered 33 goal attempts and 2.59 xG in a 1-1 draw with Portland, while also keeping three clean sheets in their last four away matches. Hasal, Igor Jesus, Martinez and Palencia are unavailable.
As LAFC are the stronger side and have won two of the three H2H meetings, we believe that there is big value in betting on Away Win, alongside BTTS and Over 2.5 goals (DC's home games average 4.00 goals, while their defence continues to struggle).
This MLS match will be played on Sunday 30 August 2026 at 00:30.
