Los Angeles FC arrives at Dignity Health Sports Park at the peak of the MLS Western Conference table. The Black and Gold are 4-1-0 to start their 2022 campaign and look to stay at the helm of the conference. Forward Carlos Vela leads the team in goals - four - and assists - two - and is hungry for more El Trafico goals.
An LA Galaxy win would put it just one point away from the top spot in the conference. Manager Greg Vanney’s side is coming off a 3-1 away win at Providence Park in Portland. Forward Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez scored a double, leading the team to a victory against a then home undefeated Portland Timbers.
The game is each team's most important match of the season. Not only will LA Galaxy or LAFC stay at the top of the table if they win, but the winner would head into future matches with momentum.
