El Tráfico returns Sunday night with LA Galaxy desperate to salvage pride against an LAFC side looking to reassert dominance.
The defending champions are winless in 13 and fresh off a 7-0 humiliation at the hands of New York Red Bulls earlier this month. Galaxy's season is spiraling despite moments of promise from Marco Reus and Christian Ramírez. Injuries, inconsistency, and defensive breakdowns have left the them looking like a shadow of last year’s title-winning squad.
LAFC, while not quite in top gear, are finding their stride. Denis Bouanga remains the game-breaker, and with Jeremy Ebobisse making his case up top and Mark Delgado anchoring midfield against his former club, the Black & Gold have the balance to punish Galaxy mistakes.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.
