Los Angeles Galaxy vs Los Angeles FC Prediction & Betting Tips - Major League Soccer
by Joseph King in Major League Soccer Predictions
Another edition of El Trafico is set to kickoff on Saturday night in the MLS as the Western Conference leading LA Galaxy host second-place LAFC. Let’s break down what is sure to be another thrilling match between the Galaxy and the Black and Gold.
Four points separate these city rivals in the standings with LAFC having the advantage of two fewer games played. The winner of this match could well go on to secure themselves the top seed in the conference as the postseason rapidly approaches.
The Galaxy fell to a 2-1 away defeat to St. Lous City in a closely-fought match in their last outing. Things have largely been going very well for Los Angeles as of late after recovering from a slow start to the campaign. The Galaxy have won 10 of their last 14 MLS contests and they possess a stellar, unbeaten 10-3-0 record when playing in their home stadium.
While they are officially marked down as having one home loss this season, that match actually took place at the Rose Bowl in the first ‘El Trafico’ of the season.
LAFC have cooled off since their four-game winning streak which saw them reach the final of the Leagues Cup. A 3-1 defeat to Columbus in that match means that the 2022 MLS Cup champions have one win from their last four across all competitions.
Things haven’t been much better in the MLS, where they have just a single win in their last five fixtures. LAFC’s last appearance saw them take a point in a 0-0 draw away from home against Houston.

LAFC have been the more dominant team in this fixture over recent years. They’re currently riding a three-game winning streak over the Galaxy after their 2-1 win at the Rose Bowl in July. Additionally, they’ve won six of their last eight meetings with their city rivals.
The Galaxy, however, will have home field advantage here which should make this a very interesting match. This is always a high-octane fixture which sees plenty of goals and we see a similar type of match playing out on Saturday night. Our LA Galaxy vs LAFC prediction: Both teams to score + over 2.5 goals.
