There are plenty of fixtures to enjoy in Major League Soccer this weekend including the meeting between Los Angeles Galaxy and San Jose Earthquakes at the Stubhub Center.
The hosts begin the weekend in 3rd place in the Western Conference on 12 points while the visitors are in 7th on 9 points.
Los Angeles Galaxy come into the match having suffered a 3-0 defeat at Portland Timbers last time out. It was their second defeat of the season and Los Angeles Galaxy had a man sent off just before half-time, which changed the picture of the game in the second half.
Portland Timbers took little time in opening the scoring after the interval and scored two additional goals to take maximum points.
That defeat comes after two successive victories for Los Angeles Galaxy as they beat Los Angeles 2-1 and Austin 2-0 at home. The victories kept up their impressive recent home form and Los Angeles Galaxy are undefeated in their last 6 home MLS games, winning 5 of them.
Trends show in their 3 most recent home Major League Soccer matches, Los Angeles Galaxy have managed to score 2 or more goals. However, they have been struggling to keep clean sheets and Los Angeles Galaxy have conceded at least one goal in 8 of their last 10 home MLS matches.
San Jose Earthquakes come into the game on the back of a 3-1 loss at home against Sporting Kansas City. San Jose Earthquakes made a great start to the match having opened the scoring after only 4 minutes but it did not take long for Sporting Kansas City to find the equalising goal. Sporting Kansas City took the lead on 60 minutes and extended their advantage 15 minutes.
That result means San Jose Earthquakes have lost each of their last 3 MLS fixtures, having made a good start to the season. Interestingly, all 3 of the defeats have come when playing at home and in addition to the loss against Sporting Kansas City, San Jose Earthquakes have been defeated by Seattle Sounders and Portland Timbers.
San Jose Earthquakes won their most recent away MLS game, beating Real Salt Lake City 2-1 but have lost 4 of their last 5 away MLS matches.
Trends show that in San Jose Earthquakes’ last 12 away matches of Major League Soccer, there have been over 2.5 goals scored and they have conceded at least one goal in their last 10 league games.
Looking ahead to the team news and Los Angeles Galaxy will be without the injured trio of Kwadwo Opoku, Erik Dueñas, and Mohamed Traore.
San Jose Earthquakes travel without defender Jacob Akanyirige, who is due back in action towards the end of the month.
Los Angeles Galaxy have a made a decent start to the season and this match provides the perfect opportunity to get back to winning ways before the meeting with top of the table Seattle Sounders.
We expect to see over 2.5 goals scored and both teams finding the back of the net in this game.
