Los Angeles Football Club will look to get a big result over their biggest rival, as they host the LA Galaxy for the teams’ fourth meeting of the season on Sunday, in a brunch-time marquee showcase on national TV.
LAFC are coming off a 1-1 draw on the road against the Portland Timbers last weekend, a game that looked like a loss that was rescued by 16-year-old Christian Torres’ stoppage-time equalizer. LAFC weathered the international absences pretty well, going 1-1-1 and now, they can regroup and look to finish the regular season strong.
They will encounter a Galaxy side that are feeling a little better themselves, after a late winner against the Vancouver Whitecaps at home last week snapped a six-game losing streak. The Galaxy had been in a tailspin before that, and they will wonder if their troubles are behind them, or if the last game was a blip.
Bear in mind, too, the rivalry here and that the Galaxy won the last two meetings. There have been a couple draws along the way, but teams tend to crush each other one way or the other in El Trafico. Hell yeah, I said it, now let’s see LAFC go out there and get a big win!
Odds:
According to DraftKings Sportsbook, as of Saturday afternoon, LAFC are (-182) while the Galaxy are (+390). The odds of a draw are (+370). The bookmakers have LAFC huge favorites, which I would say is a surprise, but you know what, it’s 2020. Who knows what’s in store for us here.
How to Watch:
Sunday’s match between LAFC and the Galaxy will be televised nationally on ABC, which you can watch via FuboTV. The broadcast is scheduled to start at 12:30 pm PT with kickoff to follow.
