On Monday, BMO Stadium in Los Angeles will host a match in the MLS regular season, featuring Los Angeles FC against Real Salt Lake. I recommend a bet on the outcome, which offers strong winning odds.
Match Preview
Los Angeles FC is back near the top of the Western Conference and is one of the strongest teams in the league. In their last match against Real Salt Lake, LAFC won decisively 4-1, showcasing the capabilities of their attacking pair, Bouanga and Son. LAFC scored 14 goals in the last six games, highlighting their offensive strength.
Even though they have faced tough opponents and lost at home, LAFC remains a formidable team on their own ground. They play at a high tempo, consistently creating chances that force opponents into defense.
Real Salt Lake is still aiming for a playoff position, but their recent performance is troubling. With four losses in their last five games, they are struggling to find stability. Furthermore, they are among the least scoring teams in the conference, averaging only one goal per match. Recently, they also suffered a significant defeat to LAFC, adding pressure to this upcoming game.
A key issue for Real Salt Lake is their poor away performance, often losing by two goals or more. If their defense struggles against LAFC’s pressing play, a similar outcome to their last match is likely.
Probable Lineups
- Los Angeles FC: H. Lloris, S. Palencia, R. Portheus, N. Tafari, R. Hollingshead, M. Choinière, M. Delgado, E. Segura, T. Tillmann, H. Son, D. Bouanga.
