Los Angeles FC
- LAFC's last 2 matches have seen them draw both games (1-1 at home to Portland Timbers in MLS 2026 and 0-0 away to D.C. United).
- LAFC have a mixed but solid 5-3-2 record across their last 10 in all competitions and at 1.5, they are rightly the overwhelming favorites to see off a New York Red Bulls outfit who have won two, drawn three and lost five of their previous 10 games.
- Black & Gold have been tough to beat at BMO Stadium of late, winning 4, drawing 1 and losing 1 of their 6 matches in all competitions.
New York Red Bulls
- RBNY have lost form recently, picking up 0 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats across their last 5 matches.
- The RBNY are 5.3 underdogs here, which seems a fair bit of a push while the draw is 4.65.
- Marc Dos Santos' men build from the back in a 4-3-3 system and are extremely sharp in transition, giving them the edge in the final third.
Key Players
Denis Bouanga remains their biggest threat and the Gabon international has been red-hot in the last 5, scoring 3 of LAFC's 3 goals during that run.
Betting Insights
- The RBNY are 5.3 underdogs here, which seems a fair bit of a push while the draw is 4.65.
- Over 2.5 goals at 1.4 and Both Teams To Score - Yes at 1.48 are our second and third selections for what should be a lively MLS game.
Prediction
- LAFC will look to get the ball into their advanced players to hurt RBNY, so if they are successful they could win by a couple of goals.
- However, if RBNY are able to force the issue early on with their press, then this could be a scrappy, end-to-end clash.
