Our prediction for this MLS match:
Inter Miami and Los Angeles FC face each other at DRV PNK Stadium in what is expected to be an interesting MLS game. Inter Miami experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 5-1 loss to Austin, and, no doubt, they are desperate to give fans something to cheer about. Ecuador International Leonardo Campana is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute at the weekend, but, as always, a man to watch in the home team will be Gonzalo Higuain.
Keep in mind that all Gibbs, Duke, Azcona, Ulloa, Marsman, Jones, and Fray are out of contention with injuries. Los Angeles FC, on the other hand, head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Portland. Since both sides are eager to return to winning ways in the Major League Soccer, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Franco Escobar has joined the likes of Julian Gaines, Erik Duenas, and Eddie Segura in Los Angeles FC’s recovery room.
Highlighted Player (Gonzalo Higuain):
Widely regarded as one of the most talented strikers of his generation, Argentina’s Gonzalo Higuain started his career with River Plate. A transfer to Real Madrid for €12 million in 2007 catapulted him to the top league. His six years at Madrid was capped with three La Liga titles and 107 goals in 190 appearances.
Higuain became a crowd favorite at the Santiago Bernabeu and there was wide spread resentment among supporters over his transfer to Italian club Napoli in 2013 for a reported €40 million. Although he wasn’t able to win the Serie A, he carried the hopes of Napoli in 2015-16 and equaled 87-year-old record of 36 goals in a top-flight season.
Higuain or El Pipita as he is fondly called has also been a regular with his country having represented Argentina at two FIFA World Cups and as many Copa America tournaments. Higuain has a great eye for the goal and his goal scoring record bears a testament to this.
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.
