ᐉColorado vs LA Galaxy prediction

• Date: 17/07/2022
• Competition: MLS
• KO: 03:00 CET
• Venue: Dick's Sporting Goods Park (Denver, Colorado)

An out-of-form Colorado welcomes LA Galaxy to Dick's Sporting Goods Park this weekend for a vital MLS contest.

Now without a win in any of their last 6, Colorado have certainly struggled in recent weeks, leaking 13 goals during that winless period.

Visiting LA arrive in Denver also in somewhat poor form, winning just 1 of their last 6 in the MLS while they fell to a disappointing 3:2 home reversal to San Jose last time out. LA have also been leaking goals, with 12 goals conceded in those 6 fixtures.

Given both sides' lack of form, the goal markets hold some appeal here, with the hosts seeing BTTS in 5 of their last 6, including each of their last 3 at Dick's Sporting Goods Park.

The Galaxy have also been consistent in the goal markets, with both teams scoring in 7 of their last 8 matches. All 7 of those matches also saw over 2.5 goals scored, with an average of more than 4 goals being scored in those 8 matches.

Historically, this fixture has also been good for goals, with 8 of the last 10 meetings seeing BTTS while 9 of the last 12 also went over 2.5 goals and both outcomes look likely here with both sides seeing so many goals in recent fixtures.

Ultimately, with both struggling to find wins, we expect a back and forth contest with goals at both ends, and a share of the spoils could be the likeliest outcome given their lack of wins in recent weeks.

Final score 2:2
