Leading clubs in the race for a Western Conference playoff spot collide in Los Angeles on Sunday evening. But, which team will maintain their form? You can find our LAFC vs. San Diego picks here.

LAFC will have the crucial home advantage on Sunday. They have won eleven of their 25 matches this season, but they come into this round following a disappointing draw on the road against FC Dallas.

San Diego were also held in their latest outing, as they couldn’t break the deadlock against Portland. However, the visitors remain the leaders of the Western Conference, and they could stretch their three-point advantage on Sunday.
