The latest edition of the Los Angeles derby, affectionately dubbed El Trafico, comes to Dignity Health Sports Park as defending MLS champions LAFC visit the LA Galaxy in Major League Soccer action.
The two clubs could hardly move in opposite directions. LAFC won last year’s Supporters’ Shield and MLS Cup double and look set to be frontrunners for a repeat this season. Striker Denis Bouanga is having a breakout year, second in the league with six goals in his first six games.
Their rivals, one of the league’s most storied franchises, are struggling without a win in the first six games of the season. Galaxy president Chris Klein and general manager Greg Vanney have come under serious fire for the club’s decline, as they barely clawed their way into the playoffs last season only to be bumped by their cross-town rivals and looked stuck in the mud early on. campaign.
In fact, there is talk of LAFC taking over at Dignity Health Sports Park, which would be an embarrassing turn of events for the hosts if they were outmatched at their own home venue.
Still, at El Trafico, fans are always warned to expect the unexpected, and that could rear its head here as the latest edition of one of MLS’s best rivalries unfolds.
