LA Galaxy 1-2 Orlando City

Current streaks

Recent form

LA Galaxy

LA Galaxy are currently experiencing a mixed run of form, with their recent results showing signs of improvement after a challenging start to the season. The team have endured a three-match losing streak in early March, which was broken by an impressive 4-1 victory over CS Herediano in the CONCACAF Champions League. This high-scoring match stands out as a potential turning point for the Galaxy, who have since secured two consecutive draws in Major League Soccer. Despite their 14th position in the league table, the Galaxy's attacking prowess is evident, with 67% of their matches seeing both teams score and over 2.5 goals. However, their defensive frailties are a concern, as they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 13 games and are conceding an average of 1.67 goals per game. The Galaxy's ability to find the back of the net regularly (1.33 goals per game) suggests that they have the potential to climb the table if they can tighten up their defence.

Orlando City

Orlando City have shown mixed form in their recent matches, with their last six games yielding two wins, two draws, and two losses. The Lions have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, with all of their last six matches seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring. Notably, their most recent outing was a convincing 4-1 victory over DC United, whilst they also netted four goals in a 4-2 win against Toronto FC. However, defensive frailties are evident, as Orlando have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last seven matches, conceding an average of 2.17 goals per game in their last six. Despite this, they have managed to outscore their opponents overall, with a positive goal difference of 2 and an impressive average of 2.5 goals scored per game. Currently sitting 9th in the league table with 7 points from 5 games, Orlando City's attacking prowess is clear, but their defensive record suggests room for improvement.

Recent home/away form

LA Galaxy

LA Galaxy have been struggling with their home form recently, experiencing a concerning run of three consecutive defeats before their most recent victory. Their last six home matches have seen them win twice, draw once, and lose thrice, indicating inconsistent performances. Notably, the Galaxy have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of these games, conceding an average of 1.67 goals per match. However, their attacking prowess has been somewhat evident, with 67% of their home games featuring over 2.5 goals. The standout result in this period was their impressive 4-1 victory over CS Herediano in the CONCACAF Champions League, which also represents their highest-scoring game during this stretch. Despite their recent struggles, this emphatic win might serve as a turning point for the Galaxy's home form.

Orlando City

Orlando City have shown mixed form in their recent away fixtures, with a notable unbeaten streak of five matches before their most recent loss to New York City FC. The Lions have displayed an impressive attacking prowess, scoring 11 goals in their last six away games, including two high-scoring 3-1 victories against FC Cincinnati and FC Dallas. Their defensive record has been somewhat inconsistent, managing only one clean sheet in this period, but they've demonstrated resilience with three draws, two of which ended 2-2. The team's ability to find the back of the net is evident, with both teams scoring in 83% of these matches and over 2.5 goals occurring in the same percentage of games. Despite their recent loss, Orlando City's away form suggests they are a formidable opponent on the road, capable of outscoring their rivals and securing positive results.
