  • Over 2.5 Goals has cashed in 8 of the last 9 meetings
  • Both teams have scored in 5 of LA Galaxy's last 6 home games
  • Over 2.5 Goals has hit in 5 of LA Galaxy's last 6 games at home

Head To Head

  • Los Angeles FC won 2-1 when the two teams last met in April 2024

LA Galaxy Form

LA Galaxy are doing great in the MLS 2024 campaign, having won 40 points across 21 matches (11 wins, seven draws, three defeats), currently sitting in the 2nd place in Western Conference. 

They extended their winning streak to four games by defeating San Jose Earthquakes 3-0 last week, Joseph Paintsil breaking the deadlock in the 37th minute, Dejan Joveljic and Mauricio Cuevas on target in the second half. 

Earlier in June, Greg Vanney’s side connected three straight victories against Real Salt Lake 1-0, New York City 2-0 and Sporting Kansas City 4-2.

This streak was initiated after suffering a narrow 2-1 defeat at Chicago Fire on 2nd June. 

Los Angeles FC Form

Los Angeles FC are the Western Conference table leaders with 40 points from 20 matches, having the second-best offense in the Major League Soccer (scored 41 goals). 

Almost all their appearances in June were a success, earning four wins and a draw.

The most recent contest against Colorado Rapids saw them claim a convincing 3-0 victory Mateusz Bogusz scoring all three goals. 

Earlier last month, Los Angeles FC were victorious against San Jose Earthquakes 6-2, Orlando City 3-1 and Dallas 1-0, while they were held to a 1-1 draw in Austin. 

Denis Bouanga is having another fantastic season in California, scoring 13 goals in his 20 MLS appearances, while also adding eight assists to his name. 

Verdict

Both sides have impressive numbers so far, scoring two goals per MLS contest on average.

A majority of previous LA derbies were full of action, so I am backing both teams to score & over 2.5 goals.
