Top Three Storylines for MLS Week 11
San Jose's encounter with LAFC might not have the same buzz and hostility as El Trafico, but this instate rivalry should be entertaining. In the Western Conference table, these two sides are separated by two points, though LAFC has played two fewer matches. In 13 previous meetings, 11 of these fixtures have sailed over the 2.5-goal mark. Saturday evening should see some fireworks with both clubs being skilled enough to put the ball in the back of the net in this one.
