LAFC vs LA Galaxy: Predictions, Picks, Odds & Lineups

LAFC vs LA Galaxy predicted formations

LAFC host LA Galaxy at BMO Stadium on Sunday, October 25 (9:00 PM ET / 8:00 PM CT / 6:00 PM PT).

LAFC have no fresh fitness concerns to speak of heading into this one, and the headline news is who’s in form rather than who’s missing. Denis Bouanga leads the line with 17 goals already this season, while Heung-Min Son operates just behind him, adding 7 goals and 53 created chances from attacking midfield. LA Galaxy are similarly unaffected by absences, and will lean on João Klauss up top with Marco Reus pulling strings behind him, while Joseph Paintsil offers another route to goal out wide.
