Galaxy vs. LAFC picks and predictions
Prediction
LAFC 3, LA Galaxy 2
BET LAFC (+110) .
LAFC has been virtually unbeatable over the course of the last 2 months and, while this match is at a neutral site, it has a record of 9-0-2 at home. The Galaxy have also been on a recent win streak, which should make this game interesting, but they do not have what it takes to get past LAFC on Saturday.
LEAN OVER 3.5 (-120) .
The Galaxy have an Over record of 14-7 while LAFC has an Over record of 13-7. Both teams tend to score at a high rate, with both coming off a 3-goal game, and both teams also rank within the top of the conference for goals allowed. It what will surely be a highly touted match, expect both sides to be on the attack.
