Prediction: 2-3
Los Angeles FC
All eyes will be on Stubhub Center when Los Angeles Galaxy and Los Angeles FC face each other in the local derby. LA Galaxy suffered a dip in form and it has to be noted that they are on a four-game winless run in the Major League Soccer ahead of Saturday’s football match. Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Co. are desperate to bounce back from a heavy 5-0 loss to Seattle Sounders, but seeing that their local rivals have found their best form of late, we are tempted to put our money on the visitors. Diego Rossi scored his eight goal of the season in the 2-0 win over Colorado Rapids and we predict he is going to lead Los Angeles FC to their third consecutive win in MLS this weekend. You should know that Los Angeles FC are after their first ever win over Los Angeles Galaxy.
Highlighted Player (Zlatan Ibrahimovic):
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a Swedish footballer of Bosnian descent. Ibra was born in Malmo on 3 October, 1981 and, as a result, he decided to represent Sweden on the international stage. The 195-cm-tall attacker started his senior career at Malmo and in 2011 he moved to Ajax.
Ibrahimovic was producing outstanding performances for the Amsterdammers from 2001 to 2004 and, as a result, he was linked with a move with several European giants. In 2004 he signed a deal with Juventus for a fee of €16 million. Ibra scored 23 goals in 70 league games with the Bianconeri and he won two Serie A trophies with club (both revoked due to the Calciopoli scandal).

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.
