Our prediction for this MLS match:
Los Angeles Galaxy will look to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Chicago Fire when they take on Sporting Kansas City on Sunday. LA Galaxy have been producing excellent displays at home this season and they are surely capable of beating the Wizards at their Dignity Health Sports Park. Both Gaston Brugman and Joseph Paintsil are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
Sporting Kansas City, on the other hand, are on a five-game losing run on the road, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on the hosts. The likes of Daniel Rosero, Danny Flores, Remi Walter, and Logan Ndenbe are out of contention with injuries for the away team. In their last meeting in the Major League Soccer Los Angeles Galaxy defeated Sporting Kansas City 3-2 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
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.
