The LA Galaxy are coming into this match playing in very good form in their recent matches. They have won their last 4 straight as well as 6 of their last 7 matches and they have been a force in the MLS this year since the start of the season. They are currently sitting in 5th place in the MLS overall and they are tied for 1st place in the West with 40 points. Their attack has been great in their recent matches as they have scored at least 2 goals in 3 of their last 4 as well as 5 of their last 7 matches, and their defense has been even better as they have not allowed a goal in their last 3 straight. When playing at home, they have been in great form as they have won their last 4 straight as well as 6 of their last 7 matches there with no losses in that span. They have also outscored opponents 9-3 in their last 3 matches at home. They are going up against an LAFC side that has also been in great form in their recent matches, winning 10 of their last 11 matches with no losses in that span, but they also have the best home record in the MLS at 9-2-0 and have been a very different team away from home this season. They are 3-2-4 away from home this season and they have scored 12 goals in those 9 matches while allowing 15 goals in those. They have been much better away from home recently, but their last away match was a 1-1 draw with Austin and the Galaxy always get up for their cross town rival. When playing against LAFC, the Galaxy have held their own as they have taken 2 of the last 4 meetings, and when playing at home the Galaxy have dominated LAFC, winning 7 of the 10 meetings there in their history with 2 draws and only 1 loss. LAFC only won against the Galaxy away from home for the 1st time last season in a 3-2 match, and this is not the same LAFC team anymore. The LA Galaxy will win this match at home or at least draw, take LA Galaxy +0.25 here.
