LAFC vs San Diego FC Prediction
LAFC’s status as second in the West should tell in front of goal, and Bouanga’s movement plus Son Heung-Min’s chance creation give them the tools to make it count. San Diego FC, 13th in the West with 21 points, have enough in Ingvartsen and Dreyer to get on the scoresheet themselves, but not enough to stop LAFC’s front line doing what it’s done all season. We’re backing LAFC to edge it 2-1 at BMO Stadium.
