There's lots of Major League Soccer action to get stuck into on Saturday evening, including a game in Carson, California, where the Los Angeles Galaxy will go up against DC United in a bid make it three games without the taste of defeat. After what was a truly shocking start to the 2025 campaign, the current MLS Cup holders have finally steadied themselves, avoiding defeat in four of their last five, two of which they've won, while they come into this game off the back of a confidence-boosting win. Not only did Greg Vanney's men win last time out, but they also kept just their second clean sheet on the domestic season.
It's not exactly been a vintage year for the visitors, who come into this cross-conference fixture comfortably outside of the playoff spots in the Eastern Conference, while their recent form certainly isn't positive, with the men from Washington DC either tying or losing each of their last five. Can they improve at Dignity Health Sports Park? Probably not.

Our Los Angeles Galaxy vs DC United Prediction
The visitors aren't exactly in a good place, but it's not as if the hosts have covered themselves in defensive glory this season, so I wouldn't be overly surprised if we saw some decent offensive play from the DC boys. Gabriel Pirani looks quite generously priced to register a shot on target given that he wiill be a threat on the break, while it's not like he doesn't shoot plenty. Our LA Galaxy vs DC United Pick: Gabriel Pirani 1+ Shots on Target.
