Match description
I project an away win (2). Real Salt Lake arrive in better form: they have scored 11 goals in the last 5 matches and average 2.0 points per game over this period, while LA Galaxy have scored 7 goals and average only 0.8 points per game. The home side hold advantages in quality of chances at home — 55% possession, on average 15 shots and 7.5 shots on target with average xG 1.84 versus away xG 1.37 — which gives LA offensive potential. However, defensively LA look vulnerable: they have conceded 12 goals in the last 5 fixtures (2.4 per game) despite an average of 1.25 goals conceded at home, whereas Real Salt Lake have conceded 8 goals in the last 5 matches (1.6 per game) and have 0% clean sheets on the road. Considering Real Salt Lake’s 5 wins this season versus LA’s 2 wins, and the visitors’ superior points and goal efficiency in recent form, I favor Real Salt Lake.
