LA Galaxy form and stats

7-3-5 (win-draw-lost) are the Major League Soccer numbers at home for LA Galaxy so far this season. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.

In their previous game, the manager Vanney led his LA Galaxy to a defeat away at Vancouver Whitecaps. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Dignity Health Sports Park. Before that match this team had gone six consecutive league games without losing. Puig (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.35/10. Puig hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 3 of 4 times and had 79 successful passes (of 86 total).

Preceding that game was the away draw at Nashville SC that finished 1-1.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from LA Galaxy's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 7 games, won 3 matches, drawn 1 and lost 3.

With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Galaxy defense is not exactly impregnable. 23 goals conceded from 15 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
