The LA Galaxy desires to keep the first place in the Western Conference, but, to do so, must beat a tricky Atlanta United at home.
The Galaxy lost in the Round of 32 of the Leagues Cup against Seattle Sounders, and, for the MLS, they last beat Portland Timbers in a pretty tight game.
United lost both games in the Leagues Cup group phase by penalties, thus failing to qualify for the playoffs. However, for the MLS, they last got a surprising victory as locals against the Columbus Crew.

Why Bet on the LA Galaxy?
The match will be hosted by the current Western Conference leaders and the team with the 2nd most points overall, LA Galaxy. They rock 14 wins, seven draws, and only five losses in this campaign, having a two-point advantage over LAFC with 49 against 47.
The Galaxy has experienced a total revival this season, led by an outstanding Riqui Puig, who keeps showing that he has more than enough quality to play in a top league in Europe. With eight goals and five assists, he has sealed many games with wonder goals that have guaranteed points for his team. In this sense, he has contributed plenty to the 50 goals scored by the LA team this season, which puts them in second place in the league in this regard, just behind RSL by a single goal.
The team’s objective must be to leave their underwhelming Leagues Cup participation behind quickly to maintain a good level in the MLS.
Why Bet on Atlanta United?
The visitors are 10th in the Eastern Conference. Boasting six wins, nine draws, and ten losses, they are an inconsistent yet generally dangerous team.
If LA Galaxy’s participation in the Leagues Cup was not good, there’s not much more to say about Atlanta. They lost both group phase fixtures on penalties and have been patiently waiting for the league’s return ever since. However, they have not been faring too well in the MLS either, as they lost three of their last five games. Still, as said before, they come from beating Columbus Crew, so they will desire to keep the momentum.
Either way, that victory was as local, and now they have to visit one of the hardest grounds in the MLS this season.
Final Betting Analysis: LA Galaxy vs. Atlanta United
As much as we like underdog stories, we believe that Atlanta United will face too much of an opponent for what they are capable of in their current stage.
Being from different conferences, these teams don’t face much. Yet, in their five duels, there is a clear dominance of Black and Red with three wins, against a solitary victory of LA. However, things have changed a lot since Atlanta’s last win in 2019, and the locals are the more solid team at the moment.
We’ll go for a 2-1 win for the Galaxy.
Go for a victory for the locals at 1.747. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $74.7 for a total payout of $174.7.
