Prediction: 2-1
Columbus Crew
High-flying Los Angeles FC will look to extend their winning run to five games in all competitions when they take on Columbus Crew on Sunday morning. Los Angeles FC have been scoring goals for fun of late and it is no wonder the odds for home win have been dropping. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Gabon winger Denis Bouanga, who has found his goal-scoring touch in recent weeks.
Columbus Crew, on the other hand, are on a four-game winning run in the Major League Soccer, but they will have a big fish to fry against the title hopefuls. In their last meeting at BMO Stadium Los Angeles FC defeated Columbus Crew 2-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. As for the away team, Wilfried Nancy has a full squad to choose from, except for goalkeeper Evam Bush, who remains in the recovery room with an arm injury.
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.
