Essential DC United vs LA Galaxy Predictions & MLS Picks
In one of the more interesting MLS games this week, we have DC United hosting LA Galaxy at Audi Field. Our DC United vs LA Galaxy betting tips will be your best friend in making a successful MLS bet this week.
Contents
2-2 Draw
A staggering 50.0% of the last 10 games between the two teams ended with draws. There’s simply no difference between these two when it comes to quality and we’d be raise our eyebrows in shock if our DC United vs LA Galaxy predictions fail.
Especially, when you consider the fact that neither team is at a particular high at the moment. In fact, LA Galaxy are semi-last in the Western Conference and they’ll need one hell of a performance at Audi Field to scoop the three points.
It’s a highly far-fetched scenario despite the somewhat acceptable head-to-head record versus DC United.
Over 3.5 Goals
Our second DC United vs LA Galaxy prediction is a continuation of what we’ve been saying in the previous one. The 2-2 tie is the most common outcome of this rivalry and it wouldn’t be at all surprising if Sunday’s match ends with goals galore as well.
LA Galaxy’s team captain – Chicharito, was injured for the better part of the season. But now he’s back! And seeing as he was among the most fruitful finishers last season, we believe we have every right to expect an abundance of goals at Audi Field.

DC United odds: -102 – 48.0%
Draw odds: +270 – 26.0%
LA Galaxy odds: +270 – 26.0%
An LA Galaxy win and a Draw are valued the same – +270 (26.0%). This just goes to show you that even the bookies believe Sunday’s brawl to be a battle between two equals. Yes, DC United are the bookmakers’ expected winners with a 48.0% win probability but Greg Vanney’s boys will surely try to give them a run for their money.
DC United vs LA Galaxy Lineups & Team News
DC United
Coach Wayne Rooney’s boys didn’t exactly get far with the 1-1 draw versus Nashville a couple of days ago but it was certainly a performance to savor as everyone pegged DC United as the underdog in this race. However, the reality was a tad different as coach Wayne Rooney should count himself unlucky to avoid winning the three points. He’ll surely want more from his boys on Sunday and that’s a good enough reason behind the DC United vs LA Galaxy predictions.
Predicted lineup – Miller (GK), Palsson, Williams, Pines, Samake, O’Brien, Canouse, Klich, Ruan, Fountas & Benteke
LA Galaxy
Despite the unusually weak start, LA Galaxy managed to pick up the slack with a vital 2-1 win over in-form San Jose last week. The Quakes were shellshocked by a superb Greg Vanney side at Dignity Health Sports Park and couldn’t cope with LA Galaxy’s pressure. With 18 shots at target and a whopping 57% possession, Chicharito and his colleagues deserved their win and we think they’ll be at their lethal best versus DC United as well.
Predicted lineup – Klinsmann (GK), Aude, Neal, Caceres, Calegari, Puig, Delgado, Brugman, Boyd, Joveljic & Chicharito

Player to Watch: Riqui Puig
If we had to rank the top transfers in MLS in the last couple of months, Riqui Puig’s LA Galaxy deal would probably be at the top of the list. Now valued at €8.00m, the agile Spaniard joined coach Greg Vanney’s side on a free transfer after his contract with Barcelona wasn’t renewed.
We have no idea what coach Xavi is thinking letting go of such a gem of a player but Greg Vanney certainly doesn’t mind having the 23-year-old at his disposal.
Puig is a key part of our DC United vs LA Galaxy predictions as he’s a constant in the visitors’ starting XI. He rarely misses out on minutes and should be among the starters for Greg Vanney this week.
