Los Angeles Galaxy will be eager to finally put an end to their six-game winless run in MLS when they face San Jose Earthquakes on Thursday morning. The Galaxy have struggled badly at home recently, taking just 0.60 points per game across their last five home matches and failing to win any of them. The hosts have also scored only 0.60 goals per game during that spell. However, Marco Reus should return to the lineup and could provide a much-needed attacking boost. Defender Carlos Garces is suspended for the hosts.
San Jose are also searching for a response after going four MLS games without a victory. Their defensive problems have been particularly worrying, with the Earthquakes conceding 2.30 goals per game across their last 10 matches and keeping no clean sheets during that period. Reid Roberts is suspended for the visitors, further weakening their back line. The H2H record points towards an entertaining encounter, with 66% of their last 47 meetings producing BTTS and over 2.5 goals landing in 66%.
Reus’ return could help the hosts finally get a positive result. Therefore, Home Win should be considered, alongside LA Galaxy Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total (both sides have significant defensive issues).
This MLS match will be played on Thursday 20 August 2026 at 03:30.
