Los Angeles FC vs San Diego FC

San Diego will be looking to strengthen their lead at the top of the Western Conference when they travel to Los Angeles for an MLS fixture.

The hosts are showing some good form but have been a bit unconvincing at home in recent weeks. The visitors have impressed on their travels and can do enough to avoid defeat in this one.

Los Angeles News

Los Angeles are coming off a 1-1 draw at Dallas in their previous MLS fixture. Son Heung-Min opened the scoring with his first goal for the club, but they could not hold out and were pegged back by the hosts.

Sitting fifth in the table, Los Angeles head into this clash unbeaten in their last five matches across all competitions. However, Steven Cherundolo's team have looked a bit off colour in front of their fans lately and are winless in their last four home matches across all competitions.

Los Angeles have no problems going forward and have scored in nine of their last 10 matches across all competitions. However, they are without a clean sheet in seven of the last eight fixtures on this run, while three of their last five MLS home matches have produced over 2.5 goals.

San Diego News

San Diego are enjoying a fine campaign this season and currently sit three points clear at the top of the Western Conference. Mikey Varas’ team have picked up three wins from their last four matches across all competitions but were held to a 0-0 home draw with Portland Timbers in their previous MLS fixture.

At the heart of San Diego’s fine showings this season is a solid away record as they appear to fare better on their travels. They have won their last six league matches on the road, claiming a 2-1 victory at San Jose Earthquakes in their previous away fixture.

The result against Portland could be considered a blip as San Diego often look sharp going forward and have scored in eight of their last 10 matches across all competitions. However, they are without a clean sheet in six of their last seven MLS away matches, with five fixtures on this run producing over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

The only previous meeting between both teams was the reverse fixture, with San Diego claiming a 3-2 home victory back in March.

Verdict

LAFC v San Diego FC

Los Angeles and San Diego both adopt an open style of play, which often leaves them exposed at the back. Both teams scored in the reverse fixture, which produced over 2.5 goals and a similar outcome is expected here.

San Diego have already beaten Los Angeles this season and have also won their last six MLS away matches. They have enough quality to earn a win or draw here, with the hosts looking unconvincing at home lately.
