Our prediction for this MLS match:
Los Angeles FC will look to build on a 3-1 win over Cincinnati when they take on St Louis City in an eagerly-awaited MLS game. Los Angeles FC are determined to cement second place in the standings and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the visitors. France ace Olivier Giroud should be recalled to the starting XI as well as Gabon international Denis Bouanga, while defender Sergi Palencia serves a one-game ban.
The visitors, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over San Jose Earthquakes and Sporting Kansas City, but given their slim playoffs chances, we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Thursday’s football game. In their last meeting in the Major League Soccer Los Angeles FC defeated St Louis City and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. To make things even worse, New Zealand defender Michael Boxall is banned for the visitors.
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.
