Betting on Los Angeles FC
The current MLS champion, LAFC, is in second place in the overall standings in the Western Conference with 7 points, the same amount of points as other teams. However, the homeowners have a pending match from the first date, which, if they manage to win it, would bring them even closer to the lead.
The team must try to score three points day after day, something it failed to achieve with a 0-0 draw against Seattle last weekend, which was also its second winless draw in all competitions.
At least it will have the advantage of playing on its home field, where it has won the last 5 matches it has played in this tournament.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): John McCarthy; Sergi Palencia, Jesus Murillo, Jesus Murillo, Diego Palacios; Timothy Tillman, Ilie Sanchez, Kellyn Acosta; Kwadwo Opoku, Carlos Vela, Denis Bouanga.
Betting on FC Dallas
FC Dallas is one of the teams that are tied with Los Angeles FC in the standings, although they have played all 4 matchdays that have been contested. The team will play in a foreign stadium after winning 2-1 against Sporting Kansas City, an important victory to stay in the top 5.
Likewise, this team will face a greater amount of pressure in the upcoming match, particularly because it will have to play away, a condition in which it has only won 1 of the 8 most recent matches held in the MLS.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Maarten Paes; Emmanuel Twumasi, Nkosi Tafari, José Antonio Martínez, Marco Farfán; Paxton Pomykal, Edwin Cerrillo, Sebastian Lletget; Paul Arriola, Jesus Ferreira, Alan Velasco.
JefeBet Prediction
The home team has managed to score at least 3 goals in the 5 most recent matches played in the home tournament.These numbers would come in handy when facing this new rival, because it would help the team regain confidence after not having achieved the best results recently.
The visiting team has shown to have interesting pieces in the attack, which has allowed it to score 6 goals in 4 dates, now it will try to exploit that offensive performance against a very good offensive rival.
Therefore, it is expected that the home team will return to it winning ways in a game that is likely to have several goals reflected in the final score.
Prediction: Over (LAF 2-1 DAL).
