Our prediction for this MLS match:
Dignity Health Sports Park will be the centre of attention when Los Angeles Galaxy and San Jose Earthquakes lock horns in the Major League Soccer on Sunday morning. LA Galaxy quickly bounced back from the Los Angeles derby defeat, with the team beating Vancouver 3-1 on the road, but they do not want to stop now. Barring any fresh injury worries, Greg Vanney is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Canadian outfit at the weekend.
The Earthquakes, on the other hand, are on a three-game losing run in the Major League Soccer and given their shaky defence, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on the home side. All Bruno Wilson, Daniel, and JT Marcinkowski are out of contention through injuries, speaking of the visiting team. You should know that LA Galaxy emerged triumphant in four of the previous five meetings with San Jose Earthquakes in the MLS.
Highlighted Team (Los Angeles Galaxy):
Los Angeles Galaxy are probably the most famous American soccer club. The club have been participating in the MLS since 1996 and San Jose Earthquakes are considered their bitterest rivals. A number of top-class players were part of the team in the past, but, no doubt, David Beckham is the club’s most significant star. The former Manchester United star played for LA Galaxy from 2007 to 2012 and he scored 18 goals in 98 appearances in the league for the club.
Fellow England international Steven Gerrard is yet another Premier League ace who joined LA Galaxy. Stevie G signed a $9 million deal with the club in June, 2015. One year before he arrived to Los Angeles, the Galaxy won their fifth MLS Cup, with the team beating New England Revolution (2-1) in the final of the tournament, but winning the CONCACAF Champions League in 2000 is considered the club’s biggest success. The MLS outfit outplayed Olimpia of Honduras in the title game, with Ezra Hendrickson scoring the winning goal ten minutes before the final whistle.
Los Angeles Galaxy play their home games at StubHub Center, the stadium that was opened on June 1, 2003. The capacity of the venue is 27.000.
