Los Angeles Galaxy and New York City seem quite evenly matched at first glance. Both occupy spots near the top in their respective conference and are prime candidates to qualify for the playoffs. Recent for both has also been rather good. All of this points to a tightly contested game that is expected to be a joy for any neutral fan.
Los Angeles Galaxy Team News
With 3 wins and 1 draw from the last 5 games, Los Angeles Galaxy is certainly not in a bad form. What is especially impressive is that the team has not recorded any loss as a host this season. From their last 5 fixtures at home, Galaxy have won 4 and reached a draw in the remaining one. Another trend in their home games is the large volume of goals scored. In 4 of the last 5 games there have been over 3.5 goals scored and 1 in which it was over 2.5. This certainly points to a potent attack for Galaxy as they have scored at least 2 goals per game in the aforementioned fixtures, but what should also be considered is the fact that they failed to keep a single clean sheet.
New York City Team News
A recent 2-3 home loss to Columbus Crew ended New York City’s 5-game winning streak. It remains to be seen whether this close defeat will hinder the team’s momentum, but generally, New York City have fared rather well on away fixtures. This is evidenced by the fact that they are undefeated in their last 4 such games and even managed to win 3 of them. Goals for the team on trips seem to come regularly as The Boys in Blue managed new ones in all of the previously mentioned 4 matches. But in 3 of them, they also conceded one themselves, which points to a rather leaky defence.
Head-to-Head-Games
The last 2 games between Los Angeles Galaxy and New York City were friendly games and both of them produced at least 3 goals with both teams managing to score. If we discount these 2 games and look at the last 5 competitive ones we can see 4 wins for New York City and just 1 for LA Galaxy. As a disclaimer – 4 of those games took place before 2020 with the most recent competitive fixture between these two being from 2022.
Los Angeles Galaxy – New York City Betting Prediction
Given the recent result from Galaxy’s home games, I will go for over 2.5 goals and both teams to score here. Goals seem to be a common occurrence during Los Angeles’ games – both scored by them and conceded by them. In that department, New York City are no slouches themselves and they also have shown a knack for netting goals regularly while also leaking in a fair few.
