Another interesting game in the USL Championship. LA Galaxy II is in the 4th position after playing four matches. They welcome Phoenix Rising who are placed 1st after seven games.

Phoenix Rising could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a USL Championship game only four sleeps ago.

LA Galaxy II form and stats

LA Galaxy II have only played one USL Championship game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 7 wins, 6 draws and 4 defeats from 17 matches.

The LA Galaxy II goalkeeper Abraham Isai Romero Gonzalez is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 189 minutes without conceding a goal in the USL Championship.

A nice win for Galaxy last time playing, versus Sacramento Republic. That was also a home game and the match ended 1-0 with A. Williams scoring for the victors. Before that match, a win away at San Diego Loyal.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Orange County are coming to town in three days.

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