LA Galaxy vs DC United prediction: Galaxy to get the points
Key stats
- LA Galaxy have only lost once in their last five league matches.
- Eight of the previous 10 meetings between these teams have gone over 2.5 total goals.
- Galaxy have averaged 2.89 total goals per game at home in the league this season, while DC United have averaged 3.22 total goals per game in their away matches so far.
Correct score prediction: LA Galaxy 3-1 DC United
Yes, LA Galaxy are currently last in the standings in the entire league after winning just twice this season. However, those two wins came in their last five matches and they are still the reigning champions.
DC United are hardly in better form with three losses in their last four league matches, so we expect Galaxy to get the win at home.

LA Galaxy preview: Can the champs keep improving?
With just two wins in 21 matches, the reigning champions have been the biggest disappointment of the season so far. In fact, they are last in the overall standings with just 13 points. That being said, both of their wins came in their last five matches, in which they only lost once, so Galaxy could be turning their season around.
When it comes to team news, Ricard Puig and Miguel Berry remain out with injuries, while John McCarthy is questionable.
Predicted lineup: Micovic (GK), Yamane, Garces, Yoshida, Aude, Fagundez, Cerrillo, Reus, Pec, Nascimento & Painstil
