Form, Standings, Stats

Last Game: Los Angeles 0-1 Nashville
Sunday, October 9 at 10pm in Major League Soccer

We said: Los Angeles FC 1-1 Los Angeles Galaxy (LAFC advances on penalties)

The Galaxy should be feeling pretty good heading into this encounter against the highest-scoring team in the Western Conference after shutting down Golden Boot winner Hany Mukhtar on Saturday. Recent history is not in favour of the Supporters' Shield winners, but the Black and Gold have numerous players who have competed in the top competitions for both club and country, and that experience, along with a keeper who has saved six penalties in his career, we believe will be enough to propel them into the Western Conference Final.
