LAFC vs LA Galaxy: Storylines
LAFC come from getting a valuable 1-1 draw against Portland Timberslast Sunday, even without Carlos Vela and Diego Rossi on the pitch. They earned a very valuable point against the co-leaders of the Conference, keeping their hopes alive to make it through the top 3 of the Western Conference. Bob Bradley’s side are looking to continue their good form against their most hated rival in a game that can hurt the Galaxy more or relive them in the fight for that 8th position.
Guillermo Barros Schelotto is hoping to win back-to-back games with a victorytoday against a very difficult rival. The Argentine boss has a team with plenty of talent to be fighting in the top four, yet they’re struggling in the bottom of the standings. Still, they’re only three points away from Vancouver Whitecaps, the 8th ranked in the West. Hope isn’t dead for this team but they know they need to start winning as soon as possible if they want to make the postseason.
The last time these teams clashed, the Galaxy earned a 3-0 win at Dignity Health Tennis Center in September.
