LA Galaxy and Colorado Rapids meet in MLS, with the hosts having just won narrowly 3-2 in their last match, while the visitors drew 3-3 in their most recent league game. The two teams therefore come in with very different moods. LA Galaxy are unbeaten in two straight, but their defense is a clear problem. This season they have scored 34 and conceded 42 in 27 matches, while Colorado Rapids have far more balanced numbers, scoring 36 and conceding 35 in 26 matches, and they have picked up more wins. The visitors' away form is not particularly intimidating, but their clearly superior possession allows them to control the tempo of games often. This game is likely to see LA Galaxy as the side pushing forward, because they are playing at home and need points, while Colorado Rapids will probably sit in a block and wait for counter-attacking chances through their superior possession. If the hosts raise the tempo and run into a visitors' side that drops deep, the game could become one-way pressure from the hosts but with periodic counter-attacks.
