It's early days in the USL Championship and both LA Galaxy II and Orange County are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the USL Championship. Thankfully the previous game, versus Phoenix Rising, was also a home game here at Dignity Health Sports Park. The away team is better rested.
LA Galaxy II form and stats
Only two USL Championship home games for LA Galaxy II so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat.
The LA Galaxy II fans got no joy from their last match, a USL Championship game also here at Dignity Health Sports Park: A 1-4 defeat against Phoenix Rising (placed 1st). Ahead of that match, LA Galaxy II won a home game hosting Sacramento Republic (1-0).
There will be little rest for Galaxy after this match as they are travelling to Portland Timbers II for a USL Championship game in only four days.
At Dignity Health Sports Park, LA Galaxy II has the goal stats of 2-4 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
Orange County form and stats
Only one away game in the USL Championship so far for Orange County and it resulted in three points. Last season the statistics for their away games were 5 victories, 5 draws and 7 losses from 17 travels.
296 minutes! That's how long the Orange County goalkeeper Frederik Due and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
The supporters enjoyed Orange's previous game versus Las Vegas Lights (placed 5th), a USL Championship 1-0 win played at home. Ahead of that match was the victory versus San Diego Loyal at their stadium, the result 2-0.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Orange manager B. Cloutier as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Las Vegas Lights.
It's early days yet, but Orange County has scored 2 and conceded 0 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: three - three - four (Galaxy wins - draws - Orange County wins). As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five had two or less.Top Goalscorers
