Let’s check the latest MLS news, stats, injury reports and MLS odds for Los Angeles FC vs Charlotte FC. We’ve plenty of MLS picks and predictions and soccer betting for you to consider.

LAFC Surging

Los Angeles FC has been the real deal in MLS so far. After signing the likes of Giorgio Chiellini and Gareth Bale, the Californians are certainly the team to beat in MLS, and they are one of my soccer picks to win the West.

As we quickly approach the latter stages of the 2022 campaign, Los Angeles FC is sitting pretty at the summit, racking up an incredible 51 points from 23 matches. They have won 16, drew three and lost four, scoring 48 goals in the process.

Los Angeles FC heads into this weekend’s fixture in stunning form. Since a disappointing 1-0 reverse to the Vancouver Whitecaps over a month ago, LAFC have won five on the trot, scoring 13 and conceding five. Last time out, they hammered Real Salt Lake 4-1 away from home and LAFC will be eyeing up a similar scoreline this Saturday.

Charlotte Lagging

Charlotte currently occupies the 11th spot in the Eastern Conference after a mixed bag of results this term. Miguel Angel Ramirez was dismissed in May after a poor run, with Italian coach Christian Lattanzio taking over on an interim basis.

Things have hardly improved for Charlotte on the field since the change in management, with the new boss guiding the North Carolina outfit to just four MLS wins. They have been in patchy form lately, winning three and losing three of the previous six.

Charlotte has collected just five points away from home all season. They have picked up only one win on their travels – a 2-1 success at Houston Dynamo in July – and no team in MLS this season has fewer points on the road. The Crown could do without a trip to the league leaders right now.

Los Angeles FC vs Charlotte FC Prediction

Los Angeles FC is enjoying an outstanding 2022 season. They made a big statement by bringing in some top stars from the European leagues, adding to their already star-studded squad. Having won five consecutive MLS fixtures, LAFC will be eager to keep this impressive run going.

In contrast, Charlotte has struggled in its first year in MLS, especially away from home. The Crown are 22nd in the combined table, with just Sporting Kansas City suffering more defeats (14) than Charlotte (13).

LAFC should be too hot to handle this weekend. When making MLS soccer picks, have a punt on LAFC to win by a handicap margin of -1, which is available at BetUs Sportsbook at -145.
