LA Galaxy Preview – Will Galaxy stretch unbeaten run to five?
LA Galaxy have been in fine fettle of late, winning four and drawing one of their last four in MLS. After a humiliating 4-0 defeat at Dallas, Greg Vanney’s men have really got their act together, drawing with Vancouver Whitecaps, and beating Portland Timbers, Real Salt Lake and Minnesota United.
Last Saturday, Galaxy picked up their fourth away win of the season, narrowly beating Minnesota at Allianz Field. Kevin Cabral’s effort just before half time was enough to give LA a 1-0 victory.
LA Galaxy have been superb in front of their home fans this season, winning seven of their ten home MLS matches. Since back-to-back home losses, Vanney’s troops have taken ten points from the last 12 on offer on their own patch. Will their fine home form continue on Wednesday?
Colorado Rapids Preview – Can the Rapids seal a third straight away win?
