    Expected lineups for LA Galaxy vs. LAFC

    Occasionally transitioning into a 4-2-3-1 formation, Greg Vanney has predominantly utilized a 4-4-2 setup in the initial five matches of the season. In the early stages, Victor Vasquez or Efrain Alvarez, who have alternated in a shared arrangement, have posed uncertainties in most games.

    Alvarez took part in the 3-1 win over Portland in their latest game, and it had a notable effect as he established a solid bond with Chicharito.

    It makes sense that he might return, considering he was uncertain to play against the Timbers last week, but his availability for the LA derby is uncertain. Douglas Costa was absent from the Portland game due to an injury, and while Vasquez could also be a choice to fill in, it may result in Daniel Aguirre taking his place. The midfield selection could become unconventional with Marky Delgado being suspended following his dismissal in that match.

    Despite the possibility of the defender from Mali making a comeback, Vanney faces another dilemma in the center back position, as he opted for Derrick Williams instead of Sega Coulibaly in the previous match.

    The anticipated initial lineup for LA Galaxy (4-4-2) comprises of Bond in goal, Edwards, DePuy, Coulibaly, and Leerdam as defenders, Costa, Raveloson, Aguirre, and Cabral as midfielders, and Chicharito and Alvarez as strikers.

    Steve Cherundolo, the boss of LAFC, has a number of decisions to make in favor of Cristian Arango’s second season start, as Opoku Kwadwo was mostly healthy and sat out of time in front of a platoon that will need sorting.

    Either Latif Blessing or Francisco Ginella will emerge, indicating that Kellyn Acosta should return to the midfield after being absent from the previous game due to a demanding period representing the USMNT internationally.

    Diego Palacios is currently playing as a left back, while Ryan Hollingshead has shifted from the left to the right side following the departure of Moon-hwan Kim. Cherundolo has the option to either continue with the defensive duo of Mbacke and Jesus Murillo, who have been in the starting lineup for the past two games, or consider bringing in Canadian standout Doneil Henry.

    LAFC anticipated starting lineup (4-3-3): Crepeau (Goalkeeper) — Palacios, Mbacke, Murillo, Hollingshead — Blessing, Acosta, Sanchez — Rodriguez, Vela, Opoku.

    LA Galaxy vs. LAFC betting selection & forecast

    Betting opportunities available through DraftKings (USA) & Sports Interaction (Canada).

    Predicting the winner of this rivalry has been nearly impossible, as there is one thing for certain: there will be goals from the start to the end of each match.

    After the three games, the Galaxy have failed to keep a clean sheet, but they did manage to keep a clean sheet in the beginning of the season. In the remaining three games, LAFC has scored three or more goals and kept a clean sheet in two out of the five matches. LAFC has not been defeated in their first five matches. Nine out of the matches have witnessed three or more goals being scored, while only three out of the first 13 matches of the rivalry have seen a team keeping a clean sheet.

    With both influential forwards fit and prepared to spearhead the attacks, there should be an abundance of goals for either team.

    Selection: More than 3 goals (-105).

    Forecast: LA Galaxy 2-2 LAFC.
