Preview
Galaxy and Los Angeles face at HDC University Field 1, in a match of the MLS. The head‑to‑head history at this stadium, favours the home team, since in the last 8 head‑to‑heads they won 6, tied 1 and lost 1. Accordingly, in the last head‑to‑head played at this stadium, for the MLS, on 15‑09‑2024, LA Galaxy won by (4‑2). Dejan Joveljić (53' and 67' ), Riqui Puig (86' ) and Edwin Cerrillo (55' ) scored for Galaxy and Mateusz Bogusz (4' ) and Denis Bouanga (15' ) for Los Angeles. Both teams register significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth atention.

Analysis Galaxy

The home team comes to this stage of the MLS (Regular Season) after a away loss by (3‑2) against Philadelphia Union. This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 2 draws and 11 losses in away matches; against 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses at their stadium. In the last 4 home league matches Galaxy has a record of 1 draw and 3 losses, so they have won 1 point out of 12 possible.

In this competition, they have a sequence of 5 losses in the last matches and they haven't won any of the last 12 matches. The most recurrent result at half‑time in their home league matches was the 0‑1 (3 out of 4 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches for this competition. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, since 19 of the last 27 have ended with Over 2,5 goals. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 2 of the last 12 matches for the MLS, they have reached half‑time in front in all of those 2 matches but have never been able to hold on to the lead until the end of the 90'. In 12 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 10 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 7 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 5 of their 11 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Los Angeles Galaxy take to the pitch under considerable pressure, following a campaign well below expectations. Currently sitting at the bottom of the conference and holding the poorest overall record in the Major League Soccer so far, the local derby presents a crucial opportunity to change the course of the season and regain some lost confidence. Playing at home, the team must demonstrate organisation and commitment to balance what, judging by recent form, looks like an unfavourable contest. The challenge will be to avoid defensive errors and make the most of the few chances created. The support of the home crowd could provide an added boost during this difficult period.
 

Confirmed Lineup: John McCarthy, Maya Yoshida, Carlos Emiro Garcés Torres, John Nelson, Miki Yamane, Marco Reus, Lucas Agustín Sanabria Magolé, Edwin Cerrillo, Diego Fagúndez, Gabriel Pec, Christian Ramirez.
Coach: D. Kinnear.

Analysis Los Angeles

The away team comes to this stage of the MLS (Regular Season) after a home win by (4‑0) against Seattle Sounders. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 2 draws and 8 losses in away matches, with 23 goals scored and 30 conceded; against 11 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss at their stadium, with 23 goals scored and 7 conceded. In the last 5 away league matches Los Angeles has a record of 1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses, so they have won 5 points out of 15 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 12 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 5 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Los Angeles FC find themselves in the opposite situation to their rivals, arriving at the derby in a strong position within the conference’s qualification zone. The team has displayed consistency and efficient performance throughout the season, which places them as favourites in this matchup. Even playing away from home, they carry less pressure and are expected to capitalise on their opponent’s unstable form to impose their style of play. Collective solidity and possession control are key strengths that could make the difference. Their objective is to maintain their consistency and secure another three points against a weakened adversary.
 

Confirmed Lineup: Hugo Lloris, Sergi Palencia, Ryan Hollingshead, Eddie Segura, Aaron Long, Igor Jesus Lima, Timothy Tillman, Marky Delgado, David Enmanuel Martínez Morales, Denis Bouanga, Nathan Ordaz.
Coach: S. Cherundolo.
