LA Galaxy are welcoming Real Salt Lake for another important game after their 2-5 result against 3rd-placed Portland Timbers.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1100 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
LA Galaxy form and stats
LA Galaxy's struggle is real here at Dignity Health Sports Park with only 10 points collected from 10 Major League Soccer games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-1-6.
The fans are hoping that LA Galaxy will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 2-5 away loss in the Major League Soccer game against Portland Timbers (placed 3rd). A defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Los Angeles FC.
As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Galaxy handle that role? We have found twelve games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are seven wins, one draw and four defeats.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Seattle Sounders are coming to town in three days.
The Galaxy fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 10 matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Galaxy with 21 goals conceded in these matches.
Real Salt Lake form and stats
Real Salt Lake have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Major League Soccer, after 1-3-4 (8 played). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Salt's last three away games as they have all been lost.
D. Kreilach was the last player to score for the away team. Salt haven't scored a league goal in the last 244 minutes.
Salt lost away at SJ Earthquakes (0-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. A draw for Real Salt Lake before that, at their own venue hosting Dallas (0-0).
We have checked recent matches where Salt have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those ten games were one victory, three draws and six defeats.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Real Salt Lake have scored 10 goals in 8 league games away. In the opposite end, Real Salt Lake have conceded 15 goals in their away games.
