Los Angeles vs New England Free Jacks Prediction: Jacks have the upper hand in this encounter

StubHub Center will be the venue for this round 9 Major League Rugby encounter between the Los Angeles and New England Free Jacks. Both teams will head into this game off a defeat, and coming here, they will hope for an improved outcome. How will this game end?

Los Angeles are off a defeat at the hands of the Chicago Hounds, a game that ended 54-31. In the meantime, that will now be Los Angeles's second defeat in a row and fifth in seven league games this season. In other defeats, Los Angeles lost to Seattle Seawolves, San Diego Legion, Houston SaberCats, and Dallas Jackals. In the league standings, Los Angeles are seated in the bottom spot of the Western Conference, picking just 12 points from 45 so far in 7 games.

New England Free Jacks are coming off their second league defeat this season, losing to Seattle Seawolves in a 21-29 encounter. In the meantime, the New England Free Jacks' first loss of the season came against the Old Glory DC, a 34-35 encounter. However, in other encounters, New England Free Jacks have secured wins over Anthem RC, NOLA Gold, Chicago Hounds, Miami Sharks, and Houston SaberCats. New England Free Jacks are now seated at the top of the Eastern Conference ahead of this game with 24 points from 7 matches.

Free Jacks are one of the most competitive sides this season, and they showed that against Seawolves last weekend despite losing. At the moment, Los Angeles keep displaying inconsistent performances, and they do not look trustworthy. I will lay on the -10 handicap on the New England Free Jacks in a game that should be another nightmare for the hosts.
