My Prediction
Philadelphia Union by 2Let's break down this face-off, shall we? We're looking at the Philadelphia Union coming at the LA Galaxy, and it's pretty clear to see why the chips are stacked in their favor.
Between the sticks, we've got the Union's two men, Andre Blake and Andrew Rick, coming off relatively good performances. Blake with a 7.37 rating and Rick not far behind him. On the flip side, LA Galaxy's keeper, John McCarthy, doesn’t essentially seem invincible under the bar with his 6.36 rating.
Galaxy's lineup seems to be quite menacing with the likes of Gabriel Pec and Marco Reus as their impregnable wall. And let's not forget Diego Fagúndez and his god-gifted ability to land accurate passes. But, the Union's forces are not to be underestimated either. Danley Jean Jacques, with his 2 stellar goals or Quinn Sullivan, with that neat little accuracy up his sleeves. They could quite turn the tables.
Looking through the annals, the teams have had a pretty heated history. In the last encounter, the Galaxy pulled a fast one on the Union with a score of 3 to 1. But, history doesn't always repeat, does it?
Oh, did we look at the scoreboard lately? Well, seems like the Union has been having quite the rollercoaster ride with 7 wins, while the Galaxy is still finding their rhythm with a rather disappointing zero.
Recently though, Union has been fairing all guns blazing with continuous victories, apart from the slight hiccup against Columbus Crew. Galaxy, on the other hand, hasn't been seeing much sunshine. The crushing 7-0 defeat against Red Bulls was indeed a bitter pill to swallow.
So if I were a betting man, which I am not, I'd put all my eggs in the Philly basket. Looks like the Union are gonna give the Galaxy a run for their money in this matchup. And given the undulating trajectory of the Galaxy's gameplay, this might just turn out to be a one-sided spectacle.
