Since the World Cup ended and Major League Soccer returned, the LAFC boys have been in hot form, first beating their city rivals by three goals to zero, before defeating RSL 3-1 on Wednesday night. As a result, when they take on Sporting Kansas City on Saturday, Marc dos Santos' men should be feeling confident. The visitors may also take to the field in Los Angeles feeling upbeat. They got the better of the Loons on Wednesday, while they're now looking a lot more threatening in general.
Facing LAFC on the road is never easy, but now may be a good time to do that, with the hosts coming off the back of a game where they weren't too tight at the back. What's more, the visitors are on the up. The betting market has consistently underestimated Dejan Joveljic this term, focusing too much on SKC's general woes, but time and time again, the Serb has defied expectations, and as he goes to BMO Stadium in hot form, he's worth betting on to score, especially as he continues to be priced generously.

Our Los Angeles FC vs Sporting Kansas City Prediction
Simply, the odds available at the time of writing do not accurately reflect Dejan Joveljic's threat level. Not only has Joveljic scored with regularity in recent times, netting twice since Major League Soccer returned following the end of the 2026 World Cup, but he's looked very hungry, shooting lots, plus he continues to be a threat on the break. With his team playing with more confidence, against an LAFC team that can be caught out on the break, the deadly Serb is well worth betting on to strike for a third game on the spin all the time odds of +240 are on offer.
