With respect to LAFC, their mission is to try to link three matches without defeat guided by the talent of Mexican Carlos Vela and Colombian Cristian Arango, who has managed to get on the scoreboard in the last two matches of the Californian team.
The team coached by Steve Cherundolo has scored 30 goals, but has also allowed 17 goals against, hence the recent signing of Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini.
Focus on defense
In addition, it is expected that the Californian team will further strengthen its attacking axis with the arrival of Welshman Gareth Bale, who will soon join the team.
For this match, the heat and humidity may make the difference in favor of the Californians, since the New Yorkers are not used to playing in such conditions and their wear and tear will be greater.
