Los Angeles FC may have felt a pang of disappointment after going undefeated in the League Cup, which, however, wasn't enough to advance to the next round, as the Californian team failed to win in their last three MLS matches. LAFC was the heavy favorite in the pre-match odds to beat the Portland Timbers, but Bouanga's late goal forced them to settle for a draw.
Ultimately, the last match was a decent performance from LAFC, who, given the talent on their roster, continue to be a contender in the fight to win this MLS season. Manager Dos Santos fielded Tillman, Son, and Bouanga as his formidable attacking trio against the Timbers. They created plenty of scoring opportunities but lacked precision.
DC United prepares to host LAFC, although they frequently draw; victories are becoming increasingly elusive for the team from the U.S. capital. They enter Saturday's match outside the playoff positions after their recent losses to New England and Charlotte.

Our DC United vs Los Angeles FC Prediction
LAFC was a whirlwind of attacks but also missed opportunities in their draw against the Timbers. Although South Korean star Heung-Min Son hasn't scored since the beginning of this month, the forward has had some decisive performances.
DC United has its own goal scorer eager to find the net again; veteran Israeli striker Tai Baribo had a fabulous run of 6 goals in 8 games from May 13 to August 19. After being left on the bench against Charlotte, he is expected to return to action at Audi Field against LAFC.
Our prediction for DC United vs LAFC is: Over 2.5 goals.
