Why you should back LAFC
Scoring has not been much of a problem for LAFC this season as it is second in the league with 53 goals, one behind Austin FC, and has been shut out only twice in 24 matches. The club, which ranks first with a plus-29 goal differential, has been especially dangerous at home as it has scored in 38 consecutive regular-season games at Banc of California Stadium. LAFC has scored nine goals over its last two contests and has outscored its opponents 18-5 during its six-game winning streak.
LAFC's offensive attack is led by forward Cristian Arango, who is tied for seventh in MLS with 12 goals after scoring 14 in 17 games last season. The 27-year-old has been on fire of late, scoring in nine of his past 11 matches and three in the last two. Carlos Vela is second on the team with eight goals and converted in the win against D.C. United in 2019, while midfielder Jose Cifuentes has netted seven goals, including four over his last six contests.
Why you should back D.C. United
D.C. United has struggled to score all season and has gone three matches without a goal. But the team has played better defensively since being trounced 7-0 by Philadelphia on July 8, allowing more than two goals just once in its last seven contests. Despite its current drought, D.C. United came away with a point on Aug. 6 as it played to a 0-0 draw at home against the New York Red Bulls.
Most of the Black and Red's production in 2022 has come from the duo of forward Taxiarchis Fountas and striker Ola Kamara. A 26-year-old who is in his first season in MLS after spending the previous four in the Austrian Bundesliga, Fountas leads the club with 11 goals in 17 games. The 32-year-old Kamara has scored seven goals in 22 matches this year after leading D.C. United with 19 in 2021.
