LA Football Club's Star Player Son Targets Trophies During His Home Club Debut Against San Diego Football Club
Sunday's match between Los Angeles FC (LAFC) and San Diego FC promises to be an exciting occasion, with the focus squarely on Son Heung-min. The South Korean international is set to make his home debut for LAFC against San Diego FC at BMO Stadium.
Son Heung-min has made an immediate impact in his two starts for LAFC, registering one goal and one assist. His first goal for the club came in their last game, a 1-1 draw against FC Dallas.
San Diego FC, currently leaders in the Western Conference, are on a six-game away winning streak, the longest ever for an MLS expansion team. However, they dropped points in a goalless draw at home to the Portland Timbers last Sunday, but secured their spot in this season's playoffs.
LAFC have a perfect record against MLS expansion sides at home, winning all five meetings by a combined score of 13-0. Moreover, since acquiring Son Heung-min, LAFC have remained unbeaten, with a record of 2 wins and 2 draws.
However, both of LAFC's recent defeats came on home soil against Vancouver and Portland. This presents an opportunity for San Diego FC to upset the odds and claim a significant victory.
According to Opta, LAFC have a 48.3% chance of winning the match, while a draw is predicted at 25.9% and a San Diego victory at 25.8%. This suggests a closely contested match, with both teams eager to secure the three points.
San Diego FC's star player, Anders Dreyer, has been in exceptional form this season. He has scored 13 goals and provided 16 assists in 28 appearances, a record only bettered by Lionel Messi. Dreyer has been on target in two of his last three games for San Diego.
Head coach of San Diego FC, Mikey Varas, stated that the three points in each game are the most important. Varas, who was hired as the club’s first head coach on September 16, 2024, will be hoping his team can continue their impressive away form and secure a win against LAFC.
The match between LAFC and San Diego FC will be the first-ever visit of San Diego to LAFC's home, BMO Stadium. With Son Heung-min set to make his home debut and both teams in good form, the match promises to be a thrilling encounter. All eyes will be on Son Heung-min as he looks to continue his impressive start to life at LAFC.
