Los Angeles FC Odds To Win 2019 MLS Cup
The second-newest team in the MLS is Los Angeles FC. Shortly after Chivas USA became the first MLS team in a decade to shut down operations, the MLS looked to put another team in the massive Los Angeles market. LAFC was officially announced just three days after Chivas folded, proving that the league was committed to making the City of Angels a two-team town.
The franchise has great roots and is built to succeed where Chivas failed. Whereas Chivas always shared a stadium with the LA Galaxy and played second fiddle to the already established franchise, LAFC has its own soccer-specific stadium, Banc of California Stadium. LAFC’s owners have also tried to instill a sense of identity. The owners sent a dozen people to Germany in order to learn from some of the biggest supporter groups in the world. That has created a great atmosphere for the nascent club.
Of course, the big draw is when LAFC takes on their inner-city rival. The Los Angeles Galaxy are the darlings of the MLS, having won more MLS Cups than any other team, and they already ran one rival out of town. In a spin on the name of the massive rivalry between Barcelona and Real Madrid, this derby is being dubbed El Trafico. LAFC have yet to top the Galaxy in this derby, but they did secure draws in the last two meetings.

Los Angeles FC Mid-Season Update
Through the first half of the season, LAFC are the team to beat. This team might go down as the best team in the history of the MLS, and they have smashed their opponents in 2019. They have a nine-point lead on the nearest Western Conference team with an 11-1-4 record, and LAFC are on pace to shatter the single-season record for points as well.
They have been the complete package. LAFC have tallied a dizzying 39 goals through 16 games, while allowing opponents to score just 13 times. Their +26 goal differential is more than double that of the next closest team in the league.
Carlos Vela is on pace to have the greatest season in MLS history. Vela leads the MLS in goals (16) and assists (10), and his 1.6 points per game average is otherworldly. Provided he avoids injury, he is a lock to win the Golden Boot and be named league MVP.
Vela is the centerpiece of the attack, but it hasn’t just been him leading the way on offense. Diego Rossi, Mark-Anthony Kaye, and Adama Diomande have been solid contributors too, as Bob Bradley’s system gets the most out of his talent.

LAFC have a sterling 7-0-1 record at home this season, and they have scored at least two goals in each of those seven home tilts. With that kind of prowess, it’s hard to see them losing many matches at home. They have been considerably more mortal away from home, but their road schedule isn’t too tough the rest of the way.
