The Los Angeles derby in MLS is back, and the last match for both sides ended with the same scoreline, 1-1 — Los Angeles FC drew at home, and LA Galaxy took a point on the road in the same way, so the two teams come into this one in a very similar state rather than a contrasting one. Los Angeles FC are still on an unbeaten run of picking up points, but the problem is that wins are hard to come by. Lately they have drawn a lot of matches and let points slip, even though they do not concede many. LA Galaxy, on the other hand, are clearly the more open side. Their attack scores consistently, but their defence leaks goals and has conceded more than they have scored all season. So the two teams have weaknesses of different kinds but have ended up with the same draw results. This game should be open and end-to-end from the start, because neither side has a defence reliable enough to sit back and wait and then push forward later. If Los Angeles FC dominate possession and push the game up the pitch more, as they should at home, the game will tilt toward the hosts, and the chance of taking all three points by a comfortable margin is greater than the chance of another draw.
