Another edition of El Trafico Clasico is set to take place at BMO Stadium on Saturday. The defending MLS Cup champions have their shortest road trip of the season when they face off against their rival, Los Angeles Football Club.
The LA Galaxy are at a much different place than they were this time last season. They were doing battle in the MLS Western Conference standings with LAFC.
LAFC ended up with the top seed out West (thanks to a goal-differential tiebreaker) and the LA Galaxy locked up the second seed. As it played out, it worked for the Galaxy.
