Can LAFC Avoid a Big Loss?
Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta plays host to a Group D showdown between Chelsea and Los Angeles FC.
LAFC +1.5 look like great value on the Asian Handicap at +102.5 considering a one-goal loss for the outsiders would still result in a return. We are expecting them to be competitive against Chelsea.
Each Team Bidding to Secure Another Win
Chelsea won the Europa Conference League final when last in action. A 4-1 triumph occurred at Tarczynski Arena Wroclaw when meeting Real Betis. Enzo Maresca's side had seven shots on target and boasted 66% possession, with Enzo Fernandez, Nicolas Jackson, Jadon Sancho and Moises Caicedo scoring one goal each.
Los Angeles FC won their previous game which was at home. It was a 3-1 MLS triumph at BMO Stadium against Sporting Kansas City. The Black and Gold boasted 59% possession and recorded six shots on goal, while Eddie Segura, Denis Bouanga and Olivier Giroud found the net.
