Alejandro Bedoya Doubtful 7

Team News

Los Angeles FC
Philadelphia
  • LAFC have no absentees as Gareth Bale is deemed fit after being an unused substitute due to a slight knock in the Western Conference final.
  • Alejandro Bedoya remains a doubt with a hip flexor strain, but other than that, Philadelphia have a full squad to choose from.

Prediction

  • Both sides have earned their place in the biggest game of the season having won their respective Conferences during the regular season, and granting them the opportunity to win the MLS Cup for the first time.
  • While both sides finished on 67 points, Philadelphia had the better goal difference, but LAFC will host in the Banc of California stadium due to accumulating more wins than this weekend's rivals. The two most dominant sides throughout the regular season, both sides coasted through their Conference finals, with LAFC disposing of Austin 3-0, while Philadelphia dispatched of New York City 3-1.
  • Both sides are capable of scoring for fun on their day, while Philadelphia have a slightly stronger defence, but the experience of players such as Bale and Chiellini could be vital if the game is still in the balance late on. Either way, it promises to be an excellent game worthy of any cup final!
