Minnesota United 2-2 LA Galaxy

Current streaks

Recent form

Minnesota United

Minnesota United's recent form presents a mixed picture, with the team showing signs of improvement after a challenging start. After suffering three consecutive losses, including two in friendlies, the Loons have bounced back with two wins and a draw in their last three Major League Soccer matches. Their most recent outing was a high-scoring 3-3 draw against Sporting Kansas City, which stands out as their highest-scoring game in this period. Defensively, Minnesota have shown resilience, keeping two clean sheets in their last four competitive matches. However, their goal difference remains negative (-1), suggesting room for improvement in their overall balance. The team's current position of 5th in the league table with 7 points from 4 games indicates a solid start to their MLS campaign, despite the earlier setbacks in friendlies.

LA Galaxy

LA Galaxy are currently experiencing a challenging period in their season, sitting in 15th position with just one point from four league games. The team's recent form has been particularly poor, with a concerning run of four consecutive losses across all competitions before a draw in their latest match. This losing streak was finally broken with a convincing 4-1 victory over CS Herediano in the CONCACAF Champions League, which stands out as their highest-scoring game in this period. Defensively, the Galaxy have struggled, conceding an average of 1.67 goals per game and failing to keep a clean sheet in their last 12 matches. Their goal difference of -4 reflects their difficulties at both ends of the pitch, with the team scoring only six goals whilst conceding ten in their last six games. The Galaxy's inability to consistently score or prevent goals is evident in the fact that both teams have scored in half of these matches, with an even split between games going over and under 2.5 goals.

Recent home/away form

Minnesota United

Minnesota United have shown mixed form at home recently, with three wins, one draw, and two losses in their last six matches. The team have demonstrated their attacking prowess, particularly in their impressive 4-1 victory over St. Louis CITY and a 3-0 win against Colorado Rapids, highlighting their ability to score goals in front of their home crowd. Defensively, they've been relatively solid, keeping two clean sheets and conceding an average of 0.83 goals per game. Interestingly, their matches have been evenly split between high-scoring affairs and tighter contests, with 50% of games seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in half of the fixtures. Despite the occasional setback, Minnesota United's home form has contributed to their current 5th position in the league, suggesting they are a force to be reckoned with on their own turf.

LA Galaxy

LA Galaxy's recent away form has been inconsistent, with their last six matches yielding two wins, one draw, and three losses. The team have struggled to keep clean sheets, conceding in all six games, but have shown attacking prowess, scoring an average of 1.67 goals per game. Their high-scoring victories against Colorado Rapids (4-1 and 3-1) demonstrate their potential to be potent on the road, with both matches featuring over 2.5 goals. Interestingly, both teams have scored in 83% of these fixtures, suggesting LA Galaxy's matches tend to be entertaining affairs for neutral spectators. Despite their goal-scoring ability, the Galaxy's defensive frailties have contributed to their current 15th position in the league, with just one point from their opening four matches of the season.
