LAFC (6-9-5) is living through one of the franchise’s darkest skids, losing four games in a row – worst losing run in club history. The Black-and-Gold have fallen to ninth place in the Western Conference and are currently out of the playoff picture. However, they are just three points away from a playoff position and have a game in hand. 

On the other hand, LA Galaxy (11-8-2) is in the process of bouncing back from a disappointing 2020 season. Like LAFC, the Galaxy enter this rivalry matchup in a slump. A win would snap their two-game losing streak and keep them at the top of the Western Conference.

LAFC vs. LA Galaxy: Players to watch 

Diego Rossi – LAFC

Uruguayan forward Diego Rossi has not scored an open-play goal since July 17. Therefor, Saturday is a big day for the South American ace. He has five goals and one assist in 18 appearances this season. Rossi scored a penalty goal against Vancouver in LAFC’s 2-1 away loss last weekend.

Julian Araujo – LA Galaxy

Right-back Julian Araujo is a young American product who has gained the trust of manager Greg Vanney. The 20-year-old notched four assists in his 20 appearances for the Galaxy this season. Additionally, the outside defender helps LA progress up the field with good passing accuracy and he also can play successful key passes in the opponent’s last third.
