The LA Galaxy are hopping from one derby to the next, as they will now play host to LAFC on Friday. In their previous match they lost badly to San Jose and will now look to wash off the shame. LAFC have been tremendous this season and are coming off a great win.

LAFC (14-2-4) played a really great match on the road against Houston, where they escaped with all three points after a 3-1 win. That was their fifth win in their last six matches. LAFC are still sitting at the top of the Western Conference with 46 points, 11 ahead of Seattle. Interestingly enough, they have the best away record in the Conference (6-2-3).
The LA Galaxy (11-8-1) were destroyed by the San Jose Earthquakes at home in their previous match, falling by 3-1. They scored an early goal but were unable to hold on to their lead, and eventually lost their third match in the last five (2-3-0). They are now sitting at the 3rd spot of the Western Conference with 34 points, one behind Seattle. The Galaxy have been mediocre at home so far (7-4-0), losing four of their last six there (2-4-0).

The two teams also split the points in a couple of draws last season, one in each venue. All three matches had goals from both sides. This is a really interesting match-up between two city rivals. LAFC have been tremendous on the road but the Galaxy are quite solid at home.
