LA Galaxy vs San Jose Earthquakes Prediction

Right here’s one other Western rivalry that often produces targets.

Final season’s outcomes noticed every crew win 3-2 on the street.

It was the fourth straight sport between them that noticed each groups scoring and three or extra targets being scored.

San Jose is off to one in all their greatest begins in years at 5-3-3 and fourth within the West. They took down the beforehand undefeated LAFC final week and have scored in every of their previous six video games. Nonetheless, a lot of that success has come at house. On the street, they’re nonetheless winless at 0-2-3 and have allowed 11 targets in these 5 video games.

The Galaxy are a catastrophe this season at 1-3-6, sitting backside of the league with SKC. They’ve misplaced their previous two video games 3-1 and 2-0 and their performances have left Chicharito misplaced for phrases and calling out the group in post-game press conferences. Perhaps they’ll handle to rise up for a standalone rivalry match, however I’m at the least anticipating a purpose from them.
