(209893) New York Red Bulls at (209894) Los Angeles FC
NYRB appear to be a solid squad poised to make noise in the playoffs, but LAFC at home is always a scary team to face and they are off to a hot start this season with three wins and a draw scoring nine goals while allowing only two. They have created 2.85 xG on average in their first four home matches.
NYRB's strength is their defense, so I would expect them to limit LAFC from that average, but if they are making a focused effort defensively, they will also limit their own chances and one goal from LAFC could then cost them a result. Ultimately I think LAFC continue their strong home start.
