LAFC is coming into this match playing in great form in their recent matches. They have won their last 4 straight as well as 12 of their last 13 matches with no losses in that span as they are finally hitting their stride after a slow start to the season. Their attack has been on fire as they have scored at least 2 goals in each of their last 4 matches, scoring 14 goals in that span, and their defense has also been good as they have allowed 2 goals in their last 3 matches. When playing at home, they have won their last 8 straight matches there. Their defense has been great in those as they have only allowed 3 goals in their last 7 matches at home, and their attack has also been great as they have scored at least 2 goals in each of their last 8 matches there, scoring 12 goals in their last 3 home matches alone. They are going up against a Columbus side that has also been in great form as they have won their last 4 straight matches, but they have struggled more away from home recently. When playing away from home, they have actually lost 2 of their last 4 matches and their defense has not been good in those, allowing at least 2 goals in 3 of those 4 matches. Columbus has a very good attack that has been scoring a lot of goals this season, but they are going to have a much tougher time breaking down this LAFC defense with the way they have played at home recently. Columbus has not been keeping teams out of their net away from home and that will get them into trouble here with this potent LAFC attack. LAFC is also going to get up for this match since the last time they faced Columbus was in the MLS Cup Final which they lost 2-1, so they will be coming for revenge here. LAFC will win this match at home and collect all 3 points here.
