LAFC has the biggest win in the derby’s history, a 6-2 win in 2020 in the MLS is Back tournament. Now in this game the Galaxy sit sixth in the West with a .500 record and not playing the best soccer, the season has been largely a disappointment for the Galaxy who started out with a lot of optimism this season.
For LAFC the season has been one to forget sitting ninth and out of the MLS post season, Bob Bradley’s side has had injuries, transfers, and lack of form that makes them the underdog in this match. Here are some of the interesting betting options provided by DraftKings.
LA Galaxy – LAFC outright

The Galaxy are the favorite at +155 but not by much as LAFC comes in at +160, the game is going to come down to who makes the least mistakes and for that LAFC has let in the least number of goals between the two sides. Both teams have seen better days so it will come down to inches.

Both teams are high scoring teams, and their defenses are what is suspect. Betting that the game will have over 2.5 goals at least is paying out -195. Don’t look for it to be a tight game as anything over 2.5 is a safe bet in this one.
