Los Angeles FC vs. New York Red Bulls is arguably the most interesting matchup in the 2024 MLS this coming weekend. Both teams are in good form, and both have huge ambitions for the season, which is why we expect to see a real battle on the field of BMO Stadium in LA.
Before Betting on LAFC vs. NY Red Bulls
Los Angeles FC is 6th in the Western Conference of the 2024 MLS with a 3-2-3 record and a score differential of 13-12. Obviously, LAFC has been doing well offensively, scoring almost two goals per game on average.
That’s no surprise given that this team has some really good attackers on the roster, most notably the last season’s MLS Golden Boot winner, Denis Bouanga.
The reason LAFC hasn’t done even better so far in the 2024 MLS is that its defense hasn’t been too impressive. That’s kind of surprising considering that in 2024, they’ve got the 2018 FIFA World Cup-winning goalie Hugo Lloris between the sticks.
He and his colleagues from the LAFC defense need to start playing better but keeping a clean sheet against the New York Red Bulls won’t be easy. The reason is that this team’s been on form lately. The Red Bulls are second in the Eastern Conference with a 4-3-1 record and a score difference of 11-7.
