Betting on LAFC
LAFC made its debut in the 2023 MLS season last week, and it did so with a 3-2 win over Portland Timbers. The match against LA Galaxy from matchday 1 is still pending, as it could not be played due to weather conditions.
The reigning MLS champions will play for the second consecutive week at home and will be looking for a similar or better performance than last week’s game. The last home loss for Los Angeles was in October 2022, on the last day of the regular season, against Nashville by a score of 0-1.
LAFC was the best home team in the Western Conference last season with 13 wins, two ties, and two losses in 17 games.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): John McCarthy; Ryan Hollingshead, Jesús Murillo, Giorgio Chiellini, Diego Palacios; José Cifuentes, Ilie Sánchez, Kellyn Acosta; Kwadwo Opoku, Carlos Vela, Denis Bouanga.
Betting on New England Revolution
New England Revolution looks unstoppable after two games played, having won both matches, the first by a score of 0-1 against Charlotte and the second by a score of 3-0 against Houston Dynamo. It is one of the six teams that has not allowed any goals so far, and now it leads the Eastern Conference.
The team has seen drastic changes since the 2022 campaign, when it finished 10th in the conference with 10 wins, 12 ties, and 12 losses in 34 games. It will be playing its second away game, and it is worth noting that after winning its debut match, it ended a five-game winless streak in MLS away games.
Possible Lineup (4-3-1-2): Dorde Petrovic; Brandon Bye, Henry Kessler, Dave Romney, DeJuan Jones, Latif Blessing, Matt Polster, Matt Polster, Noel Buck; Carles Gil; Dylan Borrero, Bobby Wood.
JefeBet Prediction
LAFC’s confidence remains intact after winning the title, and another home game is the perfect scenario to continue on the winning path. Both teams have scored three goals in their previous matches, so we can expect a heavy scoreline regardless of who wins the game.
Prediction: Victory for LAFC by a score of 3-1.
