LA Galaxy vs New York City FC Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | MLS 2024

These two teams have not drawn any of their last six matches against each other

LA Galaxy are having an outstanding season as they occupy the third spot in the table. They are three points behind table toppers Salt Lake in the Western Conference. The team bounced back in the last match to register an impressive 4-2 win over Sporting Kansas City. Greg Vanney got the reaction from the team after losing to Chicago Fire as they dominated right from the start. They will be aiming to make the most of this match after knowing they will be without their first choice center-backs. 

New York City FC’s excellent run of form came to an end in the last match after they lost to Columbus Crew in a dramatic match. They mostly played the match with 10 men after Mitja Ilenic received a straight red card in the 39th minute. They showed plenty of fighting spirit and gave a tough fight to them. The Pigeons are also dealing with issues in the back after losing Martins and O’Toole to injuries.

He will be aiming to continue his excellent run of form in this match. 

Santiago Rodriguez (New York City FC)

The young Uruguayan is having an impressive season with New York City FC having made 17 appearances for them scoring seven goals and assisting another four. The way he carries the ball makes him a potent threat for the team.
