A new week of the MLS regular season brings us one of the most attractive matches, when LA Galaxy receives LAFC, in the classic of El Tr\u00e1fico. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Galaxy comes from a 2-2 draw with San Jose Earthquakes, so they remain in the penultimate position of the Western Conference and not even winning their next game will allow them to get out of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For their part, the Black & Gold lost 2-0 in their last game against FC Dallas, so they ceded the leadership of the Western Conference to Saint Louis City. However, they can match them on points with a win in the derby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Bet on LA Galaxy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

LA Galaxy is not having the season that their fans and players expected, occupying the penultimate position in the Western Conference with only 16 points, but in the last four games they have not lost, drawing all of them.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This season the LA team has won only three games and two of them were at home. In that condition, they have scored 11 goals and conceded 13.<\/strong> The last match they played at their stadium was a 2-2 tie with Sporting Kansas City, a team that is fighting for the places that give access to the next round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team coached by the experienced Greg Vanney will face this match with three important absentees, Uruguayan defender Mart\u00edn C\u00e1ceres, midfielder Memo Rodr\u00edguez and striker Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hern\u00e1ndez. Although Rodr\u00edguez was not an undisputed starter, C\u00e1ceres and Hern\u00e1ndez were, so they would be replaced by Kelvin Leerdam and Preston Judd, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last years have been pretty underwhelming for this franchise, which could arguably be the biggest in the entire MLS. It seems that this season the trend will continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Bet on Los Angeles FC?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Los Angeles FC entered a downward curve at the worst possible time. They have the chance to establish themselves comfortably at the top, but their loss in the Concachampions Final seems to have taken a great toll, as they have just won once in the MLS<\/a> since then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their last game ended with a 2-0 loss to Dallas FC, which got them three points behind the leader. However, the Black & Gold team from California has proven to be a regular visitor, winning three times, drawing three more, and losing on three other occasions. Away from home they have scored 10 goals and conceded 12. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coach Steve Cherundolo will be without two defenders, Colombian Jesus Murillo and Spaniard Sergi Palencia, due to injury. However, only the South American had been starting and his replacement would be Denil Maldonado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Betting Analysis: LA Galaxy vs. LAFC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Rose Bowl in Pasadena will host a match of high importance, with more than 80 thousand spectators in its stands, where Los Angeles FC starts with favoritism since it is one of the clubs at the top of the table and although they lost their last two matches, they have been playing better soccer and we believe they will be the winners.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The numbers at MyBookie.ag have LAFC as the favorite, as the Moneyline for them shows +110, meanwhile LA Galaxy has +235 and the draw is +265.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last time the El Tr\u00e1fico classic took place, the winner was LAFC, with a 3-2 away win over the Galaxy. <\/strong>However, this was the only win for the reigning MLS champions on the road, while the oldest team in Los Angeles has won five times in a total of eight home games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another important fact is that Carlos Vela, the current Los Angeles FC star, is the top scorer in these MLS matches, with a total of 10 goals in 10 games. He has scored seven times in the last five.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go for a straight win for LAFC in the Moneyline. If you bet $100 at +110, you will gain $110 for a total payout of $210.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
