LA Galaxy vs Real Salt Lake

Current streaks

Recent form

LA Galaxy

LA Galaxy are currently enduring a dreadful run of form, having failed to win any of their last six matches, with five defeats and one draw. The team's defensive woes are particularly concerning, as they have conceded a staggering 16 goals in this period, averaging 2.67 goals against per game. A particularly humiliating result came in their 7-0 thrashing by the New York Red Bulls, highlighting their vulnerability at the back. The Galaxy have not kept a clean sheet in their last 11 matches and haven't tasted victory in 15 games, indicating a prolonged period of poor performance. Their attacking output has also been lacklustre, scoring just five goals in six games, with an average of 0.83 goals per match. Despite the high number of goals conceded, 67% of their recent matches have seen over 2.5 goals, suggesting that while Galaxy matches are often high-scoring affairs, the results are rarely in their favour.

Real Salt Lake

Real Salt Lake have been struggling for form in their recent matches, failing to secure a victory in their last six games. The team have managed only three draws and suffered three losses during this period, with their most recent win coming more than six matches ago. Their goal-scoring prowess has been somewhat lacklustre, averaging less than a goal per game (0.83), whilst conceding at a higher rate of 1.33 goals per match. Defensively, they've managed just one clean sheet in this run. The majority of their matches (67%) have seen both teams score, but have also tended to be low-scoring affairs, with two-thirds of the games featuring fewer than 2.5 goals. Their highest-scoring match in this period was a 3-2 defeat to Vancouver Whitecaps, which stands out as an anomaly in an otherwise goal-shy sequence of results.

Recent home/away form

LA Galaxy

LA Galaxy's recent home form has been concerning, with the team failing to secure a victory in their last six matches at the Dignity Health Sports Park. The Galaxy have struggled defensively, conceding 10 goals across these fixtures, including a high-scoring 4-2 defeat to Portland Timbers. Their attack has also been lacklustre, managing only six goals in total, with three of those coming in draws. The team's inability to keep clean sheets, managing just one in six games, has contributed to their poor run. Despite the challenges, LA Galaxy have shown some resilience, earning three draws during this period, including a goalless stalemate against Tigres UANL in the CONCACAF Champions League. However, their current form represents a worrying trend for the Galaxy, who will be keen to turn their home fortunes around and rediscover their winning ways.

Real Salt Lake

Real Salt Lake's recent away form has been rather inconsistent, with the team struggling to find consistent success on the road. In their last six away matches, they have managed only one victory, coupled with two draws and three defeats. Notably, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of these matches, conceding an average of 1.33 goals per game. Their most impressive result came in a 3-1 victory against San Diego, which stands out as their highest-scoring away game in this period. Despite their difficulties, Real Salt Lake have shown resilience in attack, scoring in five of the six matches and contributing to both teams scoring in 83% of these fixtures. The team's goal difference of -1 over these six games suggests they are competitive but often fall just short in away encounters.
