Los Angeles Galaxy
The Los Angeles Galaxy begin another season wanting to show why they are considered the best team in the United States, having won the MLS title five times – the most of any team in the United States.
Los Angeles is in third place in its conference, having won four games and lost two.
Curiously, despite being in third position, they are tied with San Jose as the team that has conceded the most goals in their conference.
San Jose Earthquakes
San Jose, winner of the MLS twice (2001 and 2003), hope to lift the title again after 18 years.
San Jose are currently in seventh place in the Western Conference and from seven games they have three wins and four losses.
As previously mentioned, San Jose, along with Los Angeles Galaxy, have conceded the most goals in their conference.
Key Stats
- Three wins and two losses for Los Angeles in their last five games
- Los Angeles have conceded at least one goal in four of their last five games
- Los Angeles have won all of their home matches so far
- Three consecutive losses for San Jose
- San Jose have conceded at least one goal in all of their last five matches
Los Angeles Galaxy vs San Jose Earthquakes Predictions
Despite losing their last game, Los Angeles are a better team than San Jose, who are on a three-game losing streak. The match being played at the Galaxy’s home ground is also an important factor which will favour Los Angeles.
The fact that the two Western Conference teams that have conceded the most goals are facing each other leads us to believe that there will be many chances to score and, although we expect LA Galaxy to win, they could well concede at least one goal.
