Below, we preview Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the LA Galaxy vs. Nashville SC odds, and make our best MLS bets, picks and predictions.
The LA Galaxy have had a very up-and-down type season. They were able to lose just 1 of their last 11 to rise in the rankings. They finished 4th in the Western Conference, while Nashville placed 5th.
Both teams used a late-season surge to get higher in the table. Saturday’s winner will play 1st-place LAFC, which received a bye.
The Galaxy are led by 34-year-old Mexican star F Javier Hernandez, who has a team-high 18 goals on the season. LA went 1-0-1 against Nashville this season.
