On Saturday evening, the very busy Los Angeles Galaxy boys, who were involved in CONCACAF Champions Cup action during the week, will get straight back down to business. Following what was a poor effort against the Colorado Rapids last weekend, the hosts will take on Sporting Kansas City, who somewhat predictably have made a tepid start to the new season. Having bounced back with that continental win during the week, can Grag Vanney's men come out on top?
Hoping to deny the hosts a third straight home win in all competitions is an SKC team that is yet to win this term. Now coached by Raphael Wicky, the visitors have lost two and tied one, but they have tightened up a little in recent weeks, which is positive, while their main offensive player has hit form. When Dejan Joveljic is feeling good, SKC always have a chance offensively.

Our Los Angeles Galaxy vs Sporting Kansas City Prediction
As a former Galaxy player, the in-form Dejan Joveljic should be extra motivated to do some damage here, and after his recent efforts, I really wouldn't be surprised if the Serbian forward grabbed a goal at Dignity Health Sports Park on Saturday. In fact, at +220, which at the time of writing is available at FanDuel, he looks a little generously priced to do just that.
Let's face it, the arrival of Joveljic was arguably the only positive for SKC last season. This is a player who knows all about scoring goals in Major League Soccer, and he's started brightly this campaign, notching twice in three games. At anything bigger than +190, I'm nore than happy to bet him to make it three in four here.
