Recent form

LA Galaxy

The LA Galaxy's recent form has been inconsistent, with a pattern of alternating wins and losses in their last four Major League Soccer matches. Their last six games across all competitions have seen high-scoring affairs, with an impressive average of 4.17 total goals per game. Notably, 83% of these matches have seen both teams score and gone over 2.5 goals, indicating exciting, offensive-minded football. The Galaxy have been prolific in attack, scoring 2 goals per game, but their defense has been leaky, conceding 2.17 goals per game. Two particularly high-scoring games stand out: a 4-2 victory over local rivals Los Angeles FC and a 4-2 loss to Portland Timbers, both in their most recent MLS fixtures. Despite their attacking prowess, the Galaxy have managed only one clean sheet in this period, suggesting defensive vulnerabilities that need addressing.

Notably, all of their recent matches have been low-scoring affairs, with 100% of the games featuring under 2.5 goals. The team's defensive prowess is further highlighted by their low goals conceded average of 0.5 per game. While their offensive output has been modest at 0.83 goals per game, the Whitecaps have managed to secure positive results, including a three-game unbeaten run in Major League Soccer. Their ability to grind out results is evident in their narrow victories and draws, with no particularly high-scoring games in this stretch.
