The LA Galaxy are coming off a bad loss on the road against Portland and failed to create a winning streak. They will now return home for their next assignment, where they will play host to San Jose on Saturday. San Jose are coming off yet another loss and they need to put an end to their losing streak before it’s too late.

The LA Galaxy (4-2-0) only lasted for the first half in their away match against Portland, where they saw a red card at the 44th minute. That paved the way for Portland to score 3 goals in the second half, forcing the Galaxy to a bad loss. Prior to that they had back to back wins against Austin and LAFC. The Galaxy are sitting at the 3rd spot of the Western Conference with 12 points, scoring 10 and conceding 11 goals so far. They have been perfect at home so far, winning all 3 matches, scoring 7 goals and conceding just 3 in the process.

San Jose (3-4-0) are coming off a very upsetting loss at home against Sporting Kansas City. They actually took an early lead in that match, at the 4th minute with Lopez, but Kansas pulled even at the 15ht minute. It was a passionate second half by the two sides but it was Kansas who scored two more goals to beat San Jose by 3-1. That was the third consecutive loss for San Jose, who have yet to keep a single clean sheet in the season. They are now sitting at the 7th spot of the Western Conference with 9 points, scoring 11 and conceding 11 goals so far.

The two teams met on 4 occasions last season, where San Jose won twice (once in each venue) and the Galaxy won one, with a goal-less draw in between. San Jose have been quite solid in this venue, with 3 wins in the last 6 matches (3-2-1). Taking the Over 3.25 Goals here, between two teams that have bad defenses.
