Los Angeles FC vs LA Galaxy Preview & Picks


The Los Angeles rivals clash in the MLS Playoffs and I'm predicting this one ends in a draw and goes to extra-time.

Los Angeles FC are strong at home, but LA Galaxy are hitting top form.

BTTS is the best bet with goals expected when these sides meet.

  • Los Angeles FC are unbeaten in 10 of their last 11 games.
  • Los Angeles FC have seen BTTS in 7 of their last 9 games.
  • Los Angeles FC have seen BTTS in their last 6 games against LA Galaxy.
  • LA Galaxy are unbeaten in their last 5 games.
  • LA Galaxy are unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 away games.
  • LA Galaxy have seen BTTS in 6 of their last 7 away games.

Head To Head


LA Galaxy hold a 7-4 (5 draws) head to head record since 2018.
LA Galaxy won 2 of the 3 matches played against Los Angeles FC in 2022.

Los Angeles FC Form


Despite losing their final game of the season, Los Angeles FC finished top of the Western Conference with an 11-point margin to Austin FC.

The 1-0 loss at home to Nashville SC followed victories over Houston Dynamo 3-1 and Portland Timbers 2-1.

It was an inconsistent end to the season for Steve Cherundolo's side, who lost five times, drew once and won three of their last nine matches.

LA Galaxy Form 


LA Galaxy maintained their strong end of season form last week when defeating Nashville SC 1-0 in the opening week of the MLS Playoffs.

Greg Vanney's side have won four of their last five matches having also beaten Colorado Rapids 4-1, San Jose Earthquakes 3-2 and Houston Dynamo 3-1. 

The other result was a 1-1 draw with Real Salt Lake.

Verdict

Los Angeles FC appeared to run out of steam a little in the final months of the season and last week's rest will have done them well.

LA Galaxy are in good form and I'm predicting this derby goes to extra-time.
