Chicharito to Score Anytime
The ex-Manchester United striker is certainly not in his prime but even at the end of his career, he still plays with a fire inside of him. Team captain Chicharito will lead his team to glory on Sunday as he strives to repeat the tremendous 2022 MLS Season he had. He bagged 18 goals last year and it wouldn’t be surprising if this Los Angeles Galaxy vs Los Angeles prediction for a Chicharito goal became a successful one.
BTTS
When you take a look at the head-to-head record, one thing is obvious as a bucket to the head – the two teams always score against each other. Both teams to score on the 26th of February is our primary Los Angeles Galaxy vs Los Angeles prediction. All of the last 10 editions of this derby ended with the two teams scoring. Considering these are two of the most prolific MLS teams, we’re confident that their ambitions will be good foundation stones for plenty of goals on Sunday.

Predicted Lineups, Team News, and Last Result
Los Angeles Galaxy
When you have one of Barcelona’s former top talents on your squad, you feel confident you can defeat anyone in MLS. And coach Greg Vanney is perfectly aware of Riqui Puig’s talent. He played a vital role for Los Angeles Galaxy in the 2022 campaign and we’re convinced he’ll be a key cog behind their winning machine this year as well. Sure, the MLS display last year left a bad taste in coach Greg Vanney’s mouth as his boys got pipped 3-2 in the Conference semifinals against Los Angeles but this will only be a motivation booster for the players, according to our key Los Angeles Galaxy vs Los Angeles prediction.
Predicted lineup – Bond (GK), Edwards, Mavinga, Coulibaly, Caceres, Delgado, Brugman, Puig, Joveljic, Costa & Chicharito
Los Angeles
The MLS Cup final against Philadelphia Union on the 5th of November last year was a very tight clash but in the end, it was Steven Cherundolo’s boys who emerged victoriously. As the current MLS champions, Los Angeles’ players will try to give their more prolific neighbors a run for their money on the 26th of February.
Predicted lineup – McCarthy (GK), Long, Murillo, Palacios, Palencia, Cifuentes, Sanchez, Acosta, Bouanga, Opoku & Vela
Starting Lineups
*Starting lineups are usually announced 1hr before the kick-off
Player to Watch: Dejan Joveljic
Dejan Joveljic was Los Angeles Galaxy’s 2nd-most productive striker last season. He finished the 2022 MLS campaign with 11 goals to his name and while he was far from Chicharito’s impressive tally, he was a crucial part of his coach’s game plan. He’s got a big role to play on the 26th of February for our Los Angeles Galaxy vs Los Angeles predictions and seeing as he’s a certain starter, we’re confident that he’ll have plenty of time to reveal his undeniable skills.
