One of the final MLS games to take place on Saturday evening is Los Angeles FC, tied on points with the table leaders and motivated for the top spot, against San Diego FC. This game will be played at BMO Stadium.
The hosts return to MLS off the back of a lowkey and rather lucky performance in the continental break, winning two out of three on close penalty shootouts. Their focus needs to quickly re-adjust to the league, where they have the opportunity to capitalize on an unhealthy Whitecaps side and jump into first position.
Although, the Black and Gold aren’t in the most thriving form themselves, not producing tons of shots, plus not getting into the best goal-scoring positions, in turn only scoring four goals in their last four. Similar to their approach in their most recent relevant away game, against the Dynamo, San Diego will be heading into this game with a sit-off tactic as they know this isn’t the game to go out and get points.

Our Los Angeles FC vs San Diego FC Prediction
Looking at their very recent performances, in the LC and MLS, Los Angeles FC really haven’t been creating lots at all, with all but one of their last five recording a low xG, resulting in just one goal scored in each of their last four. Moreover, San Diego FC aren’t known for scoring on the road, with nine out of 11 games in two competitions consisting of just one or no goals at all by the away side.
Knowing that away performance isn’t their strong suit, paired with the fact they have a tough opponent in top-ranked LAFC, San Diego FC will likely look to just sit off and defend. This will make it very difficult for the home side to get through, especially given their weakened creativity as of late.
Our Los Angeles FC vs San Diego Pick: Under 3.0 Goals.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
