The LA Galaxy erupted in their last match and completely annihilated Sporting Kansas City at home. They will now look to keep it up in their next match, as they will now play host to Montreal on Saturday. Montreal are also coming off a nice win in the Canadian Championship against Toronto.

Montreal Impact (11-16-4) did great in the first leg of the Canadian Championship final, beating Toronto by 0-1 at home. But prior to that they had back to back losses in the MLS, where they have won just one of their last five (1-3-1). Montreal Impact are now sitting at the 8th spot of the Eastern Conference with 37 points, three points behind the playoffs. However, they have been quite bad on the road so far (4-10-2), having lost each of their last seven MLS matches. They have scored in all though.

The LA Galaxy (14-13-3) finally put an end to their skid with a massive 2-7 home win over Kansas. They really needed to bounce back to winning ways, as they were scoring a ton of goals lately but their defense was conceding even more goals. That win put an end to their five-match win-less streak (0-3-2). The LA Galaxy jumped to the 5th spot of the Western Conference, where they are sitting with 45 points. They have been solid at home so far (10-4-1) and are undefeated in their last five matches there (3-0-2). But they only kept a single clean sheet in their last six home matches in all competitions.

The LA Galaxy have the upper hand in this match-up over the years (3-1-3) and have won each of the last two with clean sheets. Moreover, they are undefeated as hosts against Montreal (2-0-1), keeping clean sheets in all matches. This match can easily blow up to five, six or even more goals, but I will take the Galaxy to cover the spread.
