The MLS returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Los Angles FC and Saint Louis City square off at the BMO Stadium on Wednesday.
While the visitors will be looking to pick up a fourth win on the spin, the Black and Gold head into the game without a win in their last four outings.
Los Angeles FC continued to struggle for results as they were held to a 1-1 draw by 10-man San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday.
Steven Cherundolo’s men have now gone four straight matches without a win, claiming one point from a possible 12 in that time.
With 33 points from 21 matches, Los Angeles FC are currently third in the Western Conference table, level on points with fourth-placed Real Salt Lake.
Elsewhere, Saint Louis City maintained their fine run of results at the weekend as they picked up a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Toronto FC.
Bradley Carnell’s men have now won three consecutive matches, scoring five goals and keeping two clean sheets since June’s 3-1 loss to Real Salt Lake.
With 38 points from 21 games, Saint Louis currently sit at the summit of the Western Conference standings with a three-point lead over second-placed Seattle Sounders.
Saint Louis City have put together a fine run of form in recent weeks and will be looking to pick up a fourth win on the trot. Los Angeles FC have struggled to get going but we predict they will do just enough to force a share of the spoils.
