Betting on LAFC
LAFC is still unbeaten in the MLS and has performed great defensively, having conceded only six goals. They are obviously one of the best teams in the MLS, but in their last game, they didn’t expect such resistance and the game ended up in a hard fought draw.
There is a difference between the league and the continental tournament, and they were brought back to reality as they faced a Philadelphia Union team that was determined to reach the final.
The game was very even, and they couldn’t capitalize on their chances because they were up against a Union defense that was focused and committed.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): John McCarthy; Ryan Hollingshead, Jesus Murillo, Aaron Long, Diego Palacios; Illie Sanchez, Kellyn Acosta, Jose Cifuentes; Kwado Opoku, Carlos Vela, Denis Bounaga
Betting on Philadelphia Union
Although Philadelphia Union have managed to avoid defeat in their last two games, they haven’t been playing so well in the league. Their commitment to the Concachampions is total, and reaching the final would be a great achievement for the franchise.
Jim Curtin’s plan was to defend as best as possible and control one of the best offenses in the MLS, and he succeeded. In fact, they almost clinched the victory, as they tried to cause damage when attacking and managed to take the lead in the 86th minute. However, a momentary lapse of concentration cost them the victory as LAFC scored the equalizer in the 91st minute.
Possible Lineup (4-3-1-2): André Blake; Oliver Mbaizo, Jakob Glesnes, Jack Elliot, Kai Wagner; Alejandro Bedoya, Jose Martinez, Jack McGlynn; Daniel Gazdag; Julian Carranza, Mikael Uhre
JefeBet Prediction
The LAFC team is unbeatable at home this season, with four wins, no losses, and only three goals conceded. Philadelphia Union’s attempt to win seems like a mission impossible, but football is unpredictable, and anything can happen.
Nevertheless, at JefeBet, we believe that LAFC will come out on top, but it will be a close game with only one goal separating the teams. It’s going to be a nail-biter until the very end.
Prediction: LAFC Moneyline (LA 1-0 PHI)
