San Diego FC vs LA Galaxy: Predictions, Picks, Odds & Lineups

San Diego FC host LA Galaxy at Snapdragon Stadium on Saturday, August 29 (10:30 PM ET / 9:30 PM CT / 7:30 PM PT).

San Diego FC have no fresh injury concerns to factor in here, with Marcus Ingvartsen and Anders Dreyer set to lead the attack after contributing 11 and 8 goals respectively this season. LA Galaxy travel with a clean bill of health too, leaning on Joseph Paintsil and João Klauss up top — both on 5 goals apiece — while Marco Reus supplies the service behind them off 47 chances created.

San Diego FC arrive off the back of a 3-0 home win over Colorado Rapids, while LA Galaxy will look to build on a battling 2-2 draw away at CF Montreal. San Diego FC’s attacking pair have 19 goals between them this season, and LA Galaxy’s Paintsil, Klauss and Reus have combined for 14 — so goals at both ends look likely, with San Diego’s extra edge at Snapdragon Stadium tipping the balance to a narrow 2-1 win.
