LA Galaxy II form and stats

LA Galaxy II have only collected 6 points from their away games in the USL Championship, after 2-0-4 (6 played). Bitter travels for Galaxy as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Orange County match.

LA Galaxy II might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. San Diego Loyal proved too strong as Galaxy slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans at HDC University Field 1.

That result followed a home victory 3-0 versus Oakland Roots.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far LA Galaxy II have scored 7 goals in 6 league games away. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Galaxy's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 15 goals in 6 travels.
