It's still early in the Major League Soccer season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Los Angeles FC - LA Galaxy preview!
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Los Angeles FC form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Los Angeles FC's two home games in the Major League Soccer so far this season, having collected 4 points here at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex Field 17. Two draws in a row at home now for Angeles.
The home supporters saw a 3-3 draw versus Houston Dynamo in the Major League Soccer last time out and are looking for a win here. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Philadelphia Union that ended 3-3.
Trouble was brewing at the score 1-3 against Houston Dynamo last time out, but a goal from Brian Rodríguez completed a comeback to a draw result for Angeles. 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 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 Los Angeles FC's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played three games, won three matches, drawn zero and lost zero.
At ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex Field 17, Los Angeles FC has the goal stats of 4-3 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
LA Galaxy form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Major League Soccer travels is 0 wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Galaxy when being an outsider away as they are today, we find six matches with the visitors losing three times, drawing zero and winning three games.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, LA Galaxy has managed 1 goal and let in 1 from 1 match.
