LA Galaxy Preview – Will Vanney’s boys return to winning ways?
Greg Vanney’s LA Galaxy have made a strong start to their 2021 MLS campaign, winning four and drawing two of their opening six. So far, the LA club have beaten the likes of Inter Miami, New York Red Bulls, Los Angeles and Austin.
However, after those back-to-back home wins over Los Angeles and Austin, Galaxy were brought back down to earth with a bang last weekend. LA were heavily beaten by Portland Timbers at Providence Park, with all three goals coming after the break after Derrick Williams’ 44th-minute red card.
LA Galaxy are sitting pretty in third spot in the Western Conference table at present, but after last weekend’s defeat, the Los Angeles giants will want to get back to winning ways here. The hosts are priced at evens.
San Jose Earthquakes Preview – Can the Quakes avoid a fourth straight reverse?
Matias Almeyda’s San Jose Earthquakes have had a strange season so far. Six of their eight games have taken place at PayPal Park, with their opening match ending in a 2-1 defeat in Houston. The Quakes then won three in a row.
After home wins over Dallas and DC United and an away victory at Real Salt Lake, San Jose’s next three were all at home. However, instead of kicking on, the Goonies suffered back-to-back defeats at PayPal Park to Seattle Sounders, Portland and Kansas City.
