In the blink of an eye, the 2024 MLS Cup final has arrived with the New York Red Bulls travelling down to Dignity Health Sports Park to clash against the LA Galaxy. Saturday's championship tilt will either see the Galaxy add a sixth MLS Cup to their trophy cabinet or history will be made with the Red Bulls hoisting the Philip F. Anschutz Trophy for the first time. The last encounter between these two has been drawn out with that previous matchup occurring in 2021, which saw LA secure a 3-2 win at home.
Greg Vanney’s men were battle tested last weekend against the Seattle Sounders, winning a stingy affair. The 1-0 victory punched the Galaxy’s trip to the MLS Cup for the first time in a decade. Inside the 90-minute skirmish, LA outshot Seattle 13 to eight while controlling the ball with 54 percent possession.
Meanwhile, Sandro Schwarz’s troops keep repeating the unthinkable with their unexpected run in the playoffs. The Red Bulls' latest victim was Orlando City SC, which saw NYRB garner a 1-0 away win. For the third time in four matches, the Red Bulls cataloged a clean sheet.
Here, we will break down the betting odds and share our favourite picks for LA Galaxy vs. New York Red Bulls.

The Galaxy suffered a huge blow over the weekend as it was announced Ricard Puig will miss the title match on Saturday. The midfielder has been one of the many key pieces on attack for LA this season. Puig was white hot during the playoffs picking up four goals and three assists. During the 2024 regular season, the creative attacker notched 13 goals and 15 assists.
Scoring the lone tally against the Sounders last weekend, Dejan Joveljic brought his postseason goal total output to five. The 25-year-old striker is a lethal threat upfront amassing 15 goals during the 2024 MLS regular season. In 122 outings across all competitions, Joveljic has found the back of the net in 44 instances.
Once again between the sticks Carlos Miguel was one of the key backbones to the Red Bulls' advancement over Orlando City SC last weekend. The 27-year-old keeper stopped all three shots he faced, logging two consecutive clean sheets. Between the regular season and playoffs, Miguel currently possesses a 67.4 save percentage.
It’s been a while since this campaign's leading goal-getter made an appearance on the scoresheet. Lewis Morgan led his squad with 13 goals in MLS play but has failed to find the back of the mesh since October 2, a span of six matches. If NYRB wants to pull off the upset, the 28-year-old striker will need to make his presence known on the pitch.
The final MLS game of 2024 is upon us, and the trend that points towards backing is wagering on both teams breaching each other’s keepers. 63 percent of MLS matches this year have resulted in both teams finding the back of the net after the final whistle. The LA Galaxy are one of the top clubs to feature in matches where both sides bagged a goal, clipping at a 79 percent rate during the regular season and playoffs. For NYRB, they have featured in 13 of 20 away games in 2024 that saw both clubs get on the scoresheet. We know how devastating LA can be when it comes to stockpiling goals, and the Red Bulls aren’t shy about securing a goal on the road as they have completed that in 16 of 20 away trips in MLS. We feel with the solid stats both clubs are providing in the both teams to score market, it’s the safe wager to place.
