Game Preview

Sporting Kansas City has had subsequent wins and losses over the past four matches. The last three were with both teams netting and over 2.5 goals, yet we need to mention that we saw 17 goals combined in these events.

Since the start of the campaign, SKC has played five MLS fixtures at home. They have one win, one tie, and three losses, with a goal difference of 8-11. This team posted two wins, one tie, and seven defeats overall over the last 10 matches played.

The Galaxy is on a negative stretch. The LA team didn’t win in the previous nine games across all the competitions. We saw them losing five times and four contests ended without winners.

Galaxy’s four of the previous five road games ended with their defense allowing at least two goals. That’s why this team sits last in the West when looking at away contests. Only two points from five visits tell enough about Galaxy.

Sporting KC vs. LA Galaxy Head to Head

LA Galaxy won both games against SKC last year. It was 4-2 at home in LA and 2-3 on the road. By the way, four of their previous five direct meetings have seen both teams netting and over 3.5 goals.

Sporting KC vs. LA Galaxy Predictions

This should be a fun game in terms of efficiency. Both teams have terrible defenses, and we should see plenty of goals. Our pick here is over 1.5 HT in the second half.
