DC United and LA Galaxy have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Major League Soccer.

LA Galaxy form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their travels is 4 wins, 1 draw and 6 defeats. Three consecutive losses in away matches means LA Galaxy are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

It might be tough going out on the road again for LA Galaxy, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-3 versus Atlanta United. A 0-4 defeat away at Portland Timbers before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with LA Galaxy playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were 2 LA Galaxy wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat.

A new game in only three days for LA Galaxy, the Major League Soccer home match versus Dallas. Busy days.

The visitors have scored 10 goals from 11 away games, an average of less than one per game. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as LA Galaxy have conceded 18 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
