Recent home/away form

San Jose Earthquakes

The San Jose Earthquakes have been struggling at home in their recent matches, losing five out of their last six games. They are currently on a run of three consecutive home defeats, with their only win coming against the Chicago Fire on July 8th. The Earthquakes have conceded a high number of goals in these matches, averaging 2 goals per game, while only scoring 0.83 goals per game. Two of their recent home games have been particularly high-scoring, with a 2-4 loss against FC Cincinnati on June 16th and a 0-3 defeat to LA Galaxy on June 30th. The team's defensive issues have been a major concern, as they have only managed to keep one clean sheet in their last six home matches.

LA Galaxy

The LA Galaxy's recent away form has been inconsistent, with a mix of wins, draws, and losses in their last six games. They had a brief two-game winning streak against Real Salt Lake and San Jose Earthquakes, where they kept clean sheets in both matches. However, this was followed by a loss to FC Dallas in their most recent away game. The Galaxy have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, with their 3-0 win against San Jose Earthquakes and a 2-2 draw against Minnesota United being notable examples. Despite the fluctuations in results, their defensive record has been relatively solid, keeping three clean sheets in the last six away games.
