Betting on LAFC
After going two games without a win in the league, Los Angeles FC returned to form with a 0-3 victory against Real Salt Lake in their most recent outing. They come into this game in second place in the Western Conference, just two points behind the current leaders. A win here, combined with some other favorable results, could see them end the day on top of their zone.
There is a strong feeling that they will eventually claim the top spot in the West, especially since they have played two fewer games than the current leaders, the Seattle Sounders. For now, though, the California-based team’s main goal is to achieve a good result in this game. They will be confident of doing so, having won their first four home games of the season in the league.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): John McCarthy; Ryan Hollingshead, Denil Maldonado, Aaron Long, Diego Palacios; Kellyn Acosta, Ilie Sanchez, Timothy Tillman; Kwadwo Opoku, Carlos Vela, Denis Bouanga
Betting on Sporting Kansas City
Sporting Kansas City has had a tough season so far, starting off in second to last place in the standings. However, they recently strung together some wins in the MLS for the first time this year, including a fantastic 3-0 victory over Minnesota United last weekend where they kept a clean sheet for only the second time this season.
Kansas City’s defense has been a problem, but it’s not their only issue. Along with the LA Galaxy, they have scored the fewest goals in the Western Conference so far—only eight. They’ve also failed to score in seven out of the 12 games they’ve played, so scoring for the third consecutive match would be a huge accomplishment.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Kendall McIntosh; Jake Davis, Daniel Rosero, Andreu Fontàs, Logan Ndenbe; Erik Thommy, Nemanja Radoja, Remi Walter; Johnny Russell, Alan Pulido, Daniel Salloi
JefeBet Prediction
Sporting KC faces a tough challenge in their upcoming match against Los Angeles FC, who have the best defensive record in the Western Conference going into this week.
Sporting’s defensive weaknesses could also be a problem, as the home team has an impressive average of 2.0 goals per game.
In their previous three meetings, Los Angeles FC has won by a margin of two goals or more against Sporting KC. Considering both teams’ current form, we expect the home team to dominate once again and secure another convincing victory in this LAFC vs Sporting Kansas City match.
Prediction: Los Angeles FC Moneyline (LAFC 3-0 SKC)
