Los Angeles FC will be looking for their seventh straight win in the current MLS season when they host DC United at the Banc of California Stadium, a match where star Gareth Bale is expected to make his comeback.

Last weekend, LAFC's Welsh star did not play in the 5-0 drubbing of Charlotte FC, and neither did Giorgio Chiellini, both of whom were sidelined for technical reasons.

But it is a fact that both will be back in action this Tuesday and, after having rested over the weekend, it would not be ruled out to see Gareth Bale starting for the first time, and to do it together with Chiellini, who has already started some matches.

The team where Mexican striker Carlos Vela stands out has shown week after week why it is the best in the Western Conference and in the whole MLS, and although against Charlotte it was a little difficult for them, as they could not score in the first 45 minutes, in the second half they had a feast of goals to get the big score.

Vela got a goal on Saturday night in another good performance that showed why he is one of the key players of the team that is at the top of the standings.

With just 24 matches played, LAFC has 54 points, the result of 17 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats, six points ahead of Austin Football Club in the Western Conference and Philadelphia Union in the East.

How do LAFC and DC United get to this game?

DC United, on the other hand, is on a three-game winless streak, with one draw and two defeats, the last one on Saturday, 1-0 against New England.

The team led by Wayne Rooney is at the bottom of the Eastern Conference with just 22 points, so it arrives as a victim and looking to make a splash this week in MLS.
