Predicted Lineups

LAFC: Hugo Lloris, Ryan Hollingshead, Aaron Long, Eddie Segura, Sergi Palencia, Marco Delgado, Igor Jesus, Frankie Amaya, Denis Bouanga, Oliver Giroud, Nathan Ordaz
Club America: Luis Malagon, Cristian Borja, Sebastian Caceres, Ramon Juarez, Israel Reyes, Kevin Alvarez, Alvaro Fidalgo, Jonathan Dos Santos, Erick Sanchez, Henry Martin, Alex Zendejas

Key Player

Denis Bouanga, LAFC:
Bouanga has an impressive record with 48 regular season goals in 84 games and shines in high-stakes matches with 8 goals in 12 playoff games.

Impact of Coaching Changes

Will Steve Cherundolo’s departure affect the team’s performance? Cherundolo announced he would step down after the season, and with LAFC currently sixth in the Western Conference, they need to find balance on both ends of the field to thrive in this crucial playoff.

Prediction

Denis Bouanga’s skills are likely to lead LAFC to a 2-1 victory over Club America, securing their place in the Club World Cup.
