Recent form
LA Galaxy
LA Galaxy's recent form has been inconsistent, with their last six matches yielding two wins, two draws, and two losses. The team's most recent outing saw them secure a convincing 3-0 victory over Vancouver Whitecaps, ending a three-match winless streak. Despite their 15th position in the league, Galaxy have shown some defensive improvement, keeping two clean sheets in their last six games and conceding an average of 1.17 goals per match. Their attacking output has been modest, scoring 1.5 goals per game on average. The 3-3 draw against St. Louis CITY stands out as a particularly high-scoring affair, contributing to 33% of their matches going over 2.5 goals. Interestingly, both teams have scored in only a third of Galaxy's recent matches, suggesting a tendency towards one-sided results.
DC United
DC United's recent form has been a cause for concern, with the team struggling to find consistency in their performances. The club have managed just one win in their last six matches, accompanied by two draws and three losses. A particularly alarming result came in their 7-1 defeat to Chicago Fire, highlighting significant defensive vulnerabilities. This heavy loss contributes to their poor goal difference of -8 over the last six games, with DC United conceding an average of 2 goals per match while only scoring 0.67 goals themselves. Their defensive woes are further emphasised by the fact that they've kept only one clean sheet during this period. Despite these challenges, DC United have shown some resilience, avoiding consecutive defeats until their most recent three-game losing streak, which was halted by a goalless draw against Atlanta United. The team's struggle for goals is evident, with 67% of their recent matches seeing fewer than 2.5 goals scored.

Recent home/away form
LA Galaxy
LA Galaxy's recent home form has been a mixed bag, with the team showing signs of improvement in their last two matches. They have managed to secure back-to-back wins, keeping clean sheets in both games, which is a positive trend for the side. The Galaxy have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, particularly the 4-2 loss to Portland Timbers, which saw six goals in total. Despite their overall league position being low, their home form has been relatively balanced, with two wins, two draws, and two losses in their last six matches. The team have shown they can be potent in attack, scoring an average of 1.67 goals per game, but their defence has been somewhat leaky, conceding 1.33 goals per game. Interestingly, half of their recent home matches have seen both teams score, and there's an even split between games going over and under 2.5 goals, suggesting unpredictable and potentially exciting matches for spectators.
DC United
DC United's recent away form has been inconsistent, with two wins, one draw, and three losses in their last six matches on the road. The team have struggled to find the back of the net, scoring only four goals in these six games, averaging a mere 0.67 goals per match. Defensively, they have been vulnerable, conceding nine goals at an average of 1.5 per game, resulting in a goal difference of -5. Their sole clean sheet came in a goalless draw against Nashville SC. Notably, DC United have suffered two 3-0 defeats in this period, with their heaviest loss coming against Philadelphia Union. Despite their attacking woes, half of their away matches have seen over 2.5 goals, indicating some high-scoring affairs. The team's inconsistent form is reflected in their league position, sitting 12th with 19 points from 21 games, suggesting they have struggled both home and away this season.
