LA Galaxy form and stats

LA Galaxy have collected 0 points from their Major League Soccer home games so far after 0-0-1.

A strong away win for Galaxy against Los Angeles FC the last match, as Sebastian Lletget and Ethan Zubak were on target. Sensational by Galaxy last match, beating Los Angeles FC away as big underdogs. In the match before that, Galaxy hosted Houston Dynamo and drew the game 1-1.

This is expected to be a close game, with LA Galaxy perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with LA Galaxy as a small favourite), we find four games. LA Galaxy has won two of these, drawn zero and lost two.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Major League Soccer game versus SJ Earthquakes in only three days. This game is also played here at Dignity Health Sports Park.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the LA Galaxy at home in the league. 0 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.

Seattle Sounders form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Major League Soccer travels is 1 win, 0 draws and 0 defeats.

Seattle Sounders play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 3-0 victory visiting Portland Timbers (placed 4th). The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-4 defeat against Los Angeles FC.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Seattle Sounders playing away and similar expectations, we found six relevant matches. Results were two Seattle Sounders wins, one draw and three defeats.

After this away game Sounders return home for a Major League Soccer game against Los Angeles FC. That game is only four sleeps after this.
