San Jose vs LA Galaxy Preview & Picks


San Jose eventually saw-off the challenge of Guadalajara Chivas in their opening match as they beat their opponents on penalties. 

LA Galaxy will take to the field for the first time at the 2024 Leagues Cup after sitting the first round out. 

  • San Jose have lost three of their last four in all competitions 
  • Galaxy have won their last two competitive matches 
  • Galaxy have seen both teams score in their last two 

Head-To-Head


Galaxy have won seven of their last 10 meetings with San Jose, with the latter winning twice and one game ending as a draw. 

San Jose Form 


San Jose managed to secure two points from their opening Leagues Cup match as they won on penalties, but they were denied the extra point as they failed to win prior to spot-kicks. 

This victory puts San Jose in a fantastic position to get out of the group, while they can secure their place in the next round if they can avoid defeat in this one. 

However, with three defeats in their last four and nine defeats in their last 11, San Jose have hardly been in great form. Indeed, they have lost their last four meetings with Galaxy, meaning this one looks like it will end in defeat for the Earthquakes. 

LA Galaxy Form 


LA Galaxy will not have seen much that will worry them in the opening match in Group 2 at the Leagues Cup, with neither side really impressing. 

A win in this match would mean a draw in their final game would secure top-spot in the group, while it would also help them to lay down a marker in a competition that will only intensify after the group-stage ends. 

With two wins in their last two and four victories on the bounce against San Jose, we are backing Galaxy to get off to a winning start in the Leagues Cup.
