Only a few games have been played in the Major League Soccer so far, with LA Galaxy placed 12th and SJ Earthquakes sitting in the 7th position.
Any soccer match between Galaxy and San Jose Earthquakes is called the California Clasico and is considered one of the most historical and intense rivalries in American soccer. As the name suggest, both teams come from Californian cities. It's Northern California vs Southern California with its cultural differences, and this north vs south rivalry also applies to other sports.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
LA Galaxy form and stats
When playing at home in the Major League Soccer, LA Galaxy have managed 0 wins, 0 draws and suffered 1 defeat from 1 games.
Galaxy enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Los Angeles FC's place. The match ended 2-0 with Sebastian Lletget and Ethan Zubak scoring. Nobody expected Galaxy to beat Los Angeles FC in the last match, but sometimes David beats Goliath. 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. Galaxy has won two of these, drawn zero and lost two.
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.
SJ Earthquakes form and stats
Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but SJ Earthquakes are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.
Home advantage was not enough for Earthquakes in their previous game, as they lost their Major League Soccer-match, hosting Minnesota United, 1-4. A home win before that, celebrating 5-2 vs Real Salt Lake.
It's a bit worrying for SJ Earthquakes that their goalkeeper Daniel Vega made nine saves in the Minnesota United game last time out, but still couldn''t prevent the loss.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found three similar matches played by SJ Earthquakes in our archives, and the results are: zero wins for SJ Earthquakes, zero draws and three defeats.
Head 2 Head
Last ten meetings between the teams: Galaxy won two, SJ Earthquakes won six and two draws. eight games with over 2,5 goals, two matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
