Colorado is coming into this match going under 3.5 goals in their last 2 straight as well as 3 of their last 4 matches. When playing at home, they have gone under 3.5 goals in 3 of their last 4 as well as 4 of their last 6 MLS matches, including their last 2 straight there. They are going up against an LA Galaxy side that has not been trending to the under in their recent matches, but this trend has also been very different away from home. When playing away from home, they have gone under 3.5 goals in 6 of their last 7 MLS matches. They have not been in good form in their recent away matches either so they are going to focus more on defense in this match since they are going up against a top 4 team in the Western Conference. The Galaxy are still trying to lock down the number 1 seed in the West so they are going to try to come away with some points in this match, but Colorado has been much better on defense at home so this will be a tougher match for LA to score in. The Galaxy won the meeting in LA between these two earlier this season 3-2, but they have played in much lower scoring matches in Colorado in previous meetings. They have actually gone under 3.5 goals in 5 of their last 6 meetings in Colorado with their last 3 meetings there all staying under 2.5 goals. These are two top 4 teams in the Western Conference so this is going to be more like a playoff match where neither side wants to make the 1st mistake which could cost the match. This is going to be a low scoring and defensive match that stays under 3.5 goals.
