Los Angeles Derby and Mint

Emily Davis 98 Jul 04, 2024

On Friday morning, the MLS will stage a Los Angeles Derby, with the LA Galaxy taking on Los Angeles FC at home. The two teams are close in strength and have performed well recently. We do not have absolute confidence in defeating our opponents. In this battle, the two sides have a high chance of a draw.


After 21 rounds of regular season, LA Galaxy has 40 points, the same as LAFC, which has played one less round, and ranks in the top three in the West Coast. LA Galaxy has a strong offense this season, especially at home, scoring 2.44 goals per game, and has an unbeaten record of 6 wins and 3 draws at home, so its fighting power is self-evident. In terms of recent situation, LA Galaxy had suffered 5 consecutive regular seasons without winning, but they have recently returned to the right track, winning 6 games in the last 7 regular seasons, including shutouts in the last 3 regular seasons. Even if they face LAFC, which has won 8 games and drawn 1 in the last 9 regular seasons, LA Galaxy can at least keep its home court clean. In terms of lineup, midfielder G. Bogerman is absent due to injury.

Los Angeles FC has been very competitive in the past two seasons, ranking in the top three in the West Coast in the regular season. This season has not disappointed. After 20 rounds of regular season, it has 40 points and currently leads the West Coast standings. However, many teams behind it are eyeing its top position in the West Coast. Los Angeles FC must now do its best to grab points. On the plus side, Los Angeles FC is in good shape recently. In the last round, Matios Poguz scored a hat trick and the team beat Colorado Rapids 3-0. Los Angeles FC has scored 25 points in the past 9 regular seasons, and its momentum to grab points is extremely strong. However, it should be noted that Los Angeles FC lost its last away game against Los Angeles Galaxy, which has also been on a winning streak recently. Therefore, it will be very difficult for Los Angeles FC to defeat its opponent in this battle. In terms of personnel, forward Christian Olivera will go to the country, and defender Lorenzo Dilawal is injured.
