Our prediction for this MLS match:
Local derby between Los Angeles Galaxy and Los Angeles FC will bring down the curtain on Thursday’s program in the Major League Soccer. LA Galaxy have been producing fine performances of late and you should know that they are eyeing their fifth consecutive win in the MLS. Barring any fresh injury worries, head coach Greg Vanney is unlikely to make changes to the team that rolled over San Jose Earthquakes 3-0 at the weekend.
Los Angeles FC, on the other hand, faced no difficulties in a 3-0 win over Colorado Rapids. Given the attacking potentials of the two local rivals, we believe that punters from all four corners of the world can find value in betting on both teams to score. As for the away team, all eyes will be on Poland midfielder Mateusz Bogusz, who scored a hat-trick against San Jose. Forward Cristian Olivera is on international duty, while both Luis Muller and Lorenzo Dellavalle remain in the recovery room.
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.
