MLS Preview: Los Angeles Galaxy (8-6-3) at Los Angeles Football Club (11-4-3)

The Galaxy have six wins over LAFC in MLS play, the most wins by any team over LAFC in league competitions (incl. playoffs). LAFC’s 21.4 percent MLS win rate against the Galaxy is its lowest against any team its faced more than three times.

Los Angeles FC suffered just its fourth loss of the season on Saturday, losing, 1–0, at Vancouver on an 89th minute goal by Andrés Cubas. It was the first time all season LAFC was outscored in the second half of a match and just the second time they failed to score.

The Galaxy’s 4–0 win over CF Montréal on Monday continued their up-and-down season. The Galaxy have not posted the same result in consecutive matches in their last 12 games (W5 D3 L5) with their last winning streak coming in early April against Portland and LAFC.

Los Angeles FC has scored in 35 straight home MLS matches, equaling the third-longest streak in MLS history. LAFC has scored at least twice in seven of their last eight home league games.

Dejan Joveljic has found the net in four consecutive MLS games for the Galaxy, scoring five goals in that time. He could equal the club record for consecutive regular season games with a goal, a mark set by Carlos Ruiz in 2002–03 and matched by Landon Donovan (2011), Robbie Keane (2015–16) and Zlatan Ibrahimovic (4x in 2018 and 2019).
