Los Angeles Galaxy vs Los Angeles FC Prediction & Betting Tips (5 July)

Struggling Los Angeles Galaxy have found the going pretty tough on their own patch of late, winning only four times in 18 attempts in the MLS, not to mention suffering some defeats in their previous ten games. Los Angeles FC have endured few such difficulties on the road, enjoying eight successes over the course of their last 13 away matches at this level.

When Los Angeles FC come calling in the MLS, under 3.5 goals tends to follow, with this being the case in 15 of the most recent 19 away matches played by the Los Angeles FC outfit. Not only that, but 13 of the last 15 home games played by Los Angeles Galaxy at this level have also produced no more than three successful strikes, so it is hard to see this pattern changing.

Los Angeles Galaxy have played four matches since securing their place in the MLS, with no fewer than three of these encounters producing a clean sheet at one end of the pitch. This has also been the case in seven of the previous nine top-flight fixtures involving Los Angeles FC, so any deviation from this script would come as a bit of a surprise.
