Our prediction for this MLS match:
Dignity Health Sports Park will be the centre of attention when Los Angeles Galaxy and Los Angeles FC lock horns in the Los Angeles derby. L.A. Galaxy are on a five-game losing run in the Major League Soccer and it is no wonder the bookies see them as underdogs in Monday’s clash. Both Jonathan Paintsil and Riqui Puig are out of contention with injuries for the home side.
The Black and Gold, on the other hand, aim to build on a thrilling 4-0 win over Seattle Sounders. With the visiting side obviously improving up front and with Los Angeles Galaxy’s recent struggles, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Steve Cherundolo’s troops. Both Chanot and Dellavalle are out of contention with injuries for the visiting side, while midfielder Odin Thiago Holm is a major doubt and will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
Highlighted Team (Los Angeles Galaxy):

Los Angeles Galaxy are probably the most famous American soccer club. The club have been participating in the MLS since 1996 and San Jose Earthquakes are considered their bitterest rivals. A number of top-class players were part of the team in the past, but, no doubt, David Beckham is the club’s most significant star. The former Manchester United star played for LA Galaxy from 2007 to 2012 and he scored 18 goals in 98 appearances in the league for the club.
Fellow England international Steven Gerrard is yet another Premier League ace who joined LA Galaxy. Stevie G signed a $9 million deal with the club in June, 2015. One year before he arrived to Los Angeles, the Galaxy won their fifth MLS Cup, with the team beating New England Revolution (2-1) in the final of the tournament, but winning the CONCACAF Champions League in 2000 is considered the club’s biggest success. The MLS outfit outplayed Olimpia of Honduras in the title game, with Ezra Hendrickson scoring the winning goal ten minutes before the final whistle.
Los Angeles Galaxy play their home games at StubHub Center, the stadium that was opened on June 1, 2003. The capacity of the venue is 27.000.
