LA Galaxy vs San Jose Earthquakes Preview
Thanks for the submission!
LA Galaxy have not won an MLS match since mid-May, when they defeated Seattle Sounders 2-0 on the road. They have dropped 15 points across six matches since then, leading to their stagnation in the standings. After 20 rounds of matches, the hosts boast five wins and seven draws, alongside eight defeats.
Los Galácticos find themselves sitting close to the basement, 13th out of 15 teams, on 22 points. Their campaign is far from promising and will need an urgent revival if they intend to finish in a respectable position. The six-time MLS Cup champions are staring at another dismal campaign, like the previous one, which ended in 26th position overall.
San Jose Earthquakes have not fared better. The visitors are enduring a winless run, which has stretched through four outings, with 10 points dropped in the process. They have claimed only two wins in their last 10 MLS matches, drawing thrice and losing five times. However, Earthquakes have been able to maintain their place in the top five of the Western Conference table.
The Quakes sit fourth with 33 points, from 10 wins and three draws, but they have lost six times. Despite their setbacks in recent games, Earthquakes are not trailing the top spot by a huge gap. They are just four points behind top-placed Vancouver Whitecaps FC and could move closer if they snatch maximum points against LA Galaxy. The sides’ last two clashes ended in draws.
