Columbus Crew have been going through a really rough patch lately and are coming off yet another loss. They will now look to return to winning ways when they will play host to the LA Galaxy on Wednesday. The LA Galaxy fought hard against the Red Bulls but met a tough loss on the road.

Columbus Crew (4-6-1) met another loss in their last match where they fell by 1-3 on the road against DC United. That proved yet again that their offense is still struggling (the goal was an own goal), with Columbus actually scoring just once in their last five. As a result they are now sitting at the 6th spot of the Eastern Conference with 13 points, two behind NYCFC. They have been mediocre at home so far (3-2-1). The LA Galaxy (7-2-1) are coming off a really hard-fought match on the road against the Red Bulls where they fell by 2-3. That loss came after a seven-match undefeated streak where the Galaxy had won six matches. They are still sitting at the 2nd spot of the Western Conference with 22 points, three ahead of Houston and Seattle but also just two behind LAFC. The Galaxy have won just once on the road so far (1-2-1).

There hasn’t been a visitors win in this match-up since 2011, with five home wins and two home draws since then. Columbus have been great as hosts against the Galaxy over the years (7-4-7) and are undefeated in the last four matches here (2-0-2). Hosting the Galaxy couldn’t have come at a worst timing.
