Los Angeles FC 1-0 Minnesota United

Current streaks

Recent form

Los Angeles FC

Los Angeles FC have shown impressive form recently, with a current unbeaten streak of six matches across all competitions. The team have won four of their last six games, including three consecutive victories in their most recent friendlies. LAFC have been particularly solid defensively, keeping three clean sheets in their last six matches and conceding an average of just 0.67 goals per game. Their attacking output has been consistent, if not prolific, with the team scoring in every match during this period. Interestingly, two-thirds of their recent games have featured under 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend towards tighter, lower-scoring affairs. While there haven't been any notably high-scoring games, LAFC's ability to grind out results is evident, with four of their last six matches being decided by a single goal margin.

Minnesota United

Minnesota United have been struggling for form recently, failing to secure a victory in their last six matches across all competitions. The team's defensive frailties are evident, having conceded 11 goals in this period, with a particularly heavy 6-2 defeat against LA Galaxy in their most recent Major League Soccer fixture. Despite their current 7th position in the league table, the Loons have managed just three draws and suffered three losses in their last six games, scoring only five goals whilst conceding more than twice that number. Their inability to keep clean sheets is concerning, with only one in the last six matches, and they are currently on a five-game streak without a shutout. The team's goal-scoring woes are also apparent, averaging less than a goal per game in this period, which has contributed to their current six-game winless run.

Recent home/away form

Los Angeles FC

Los Angeles FC have shown impressive form at home, winning four of their last six matches, including their most recent three. They've been particularly strong defensively, conceding only 0.83 goals per game and keeping two clean sheets in this period. Their attacking prowess is evident with an average of 1.33 goals scored per game, contributing to a positive goal difference of 3. Interestingly, both teams have scored in 67% of these matches, suggesting entertaining games for spectators. While there haven't been any exceptionally high-scoring encounters, the total goals average of 2.17 per game indicates competitive fixtures. LAFC's current three-game winning streak at home demonstrates their ability to capitalise on home advantage, which could be crucial for their league position as they aim to build on their 6th place standing.

Minnesota United

Minnesota United's recent away form presents a mixed picture, with the team struggling to find consistent success on the road. In their last six away matches, they have managed only one win, alongside three draws and two losses. Notably, the Loons have shown resilience in defence, keeping three clean sheets in these six games. However, their attacking prowess has been limited, scoring just 0.83 goals per game on average. A particularly concerning result was their heavy 6-2 defeat to LA Galaxy in November 2024, which significantly inflated their goals conceded tally. Despite this, Minnesota United have generally been involved in low-scoring affairs, with 67% of their recent away matches featuring under 2.5 goals. The team's ability to grind out draws (three in six games) suggests they can be difficult to beat, but their struggle to convert these into wins remains a challenge for their away performances.
