The battle for postseason berths is intensifying, particularly in the Eastern Conference, where teams are vying for coveted playoff spots. With just one game remaining, the east is witnessing fierce competition as teams scramble to secure their spots in the postseason and make a final push for a chance at the MLS Cup.
While the focus is over there, with Inter Miami leading the way, the Western Conference is not without its drama. An interesting scenario could unfold at the top of the table if the LA Galaxy fail in their last game and LAFC secure a win next weekend. This potential outcome could result in a tie at the top of the Western Conference, adding a layer of excitement and anticipation as the regular season comes to an end.
Now, one of the matches we will enjoy this weekend will be between LAFC and SJ Earthquakes, played this Saturday.

Why bet on the LAFC?
As mentioned, LAFC is in a fierce battle with crosstown rival LA Galaxy for the top of the MLS Western Conference. Currently,the differenceis only three points between them, with the Galaxy leading the conference. However, a combination of results could generate a tie at the top of the standings.
Likewise, LAFC is more than likely securing second place in the table, where they have an excellent record of 18 wins, seven draws, and eight losses, with 60 goals scored and 42 conceded. This is one of the best teams in the league, but they have not been able to beat the Galaxy in the West.
However, we know that in the postseason, anything can happen. So, they will try to finish with all their power this last week to have the necessary confidence in the next stage of the season.
LAFC is coming off an excellent win over the Whitecaps with a score of 2-1.
Why bet on the San Jose Earthquakes?
On the other hand, we have one of the worst or the worst teams in MLS this 2024 season, the San Jose Earthquakes.
Currently, the team sits in last place in the Western Conference, with a terrible record of six wins, three draws, and 24 losses, with 40 goals for and 75 against. This -35 goal differential is the worst in the league, including the Eastern Conference teams, so there is nothing this squad can do against one of the best offenses in MLS this season.
While this match represents absolutely nothing for the Earthquakes, we have to say that they can be a thorn in LAFC’s side. Generally, these types of teams usually pull off an upset in these games where only something is at stake for the favored team.
San Jose comes into this final match of the season after losing at home to Real Salt Lake by 0-1.
