LA Galaxy vs New York City Betting Tips

LA Galaxy are in fine form at the moment. They have won their last 5 matches on the trot, and even have won 9 of their last 12 games in all competitions.

They win in style as well, having scored 18 times in their last 5 outings and conceding 4 goals. So attacking is their style that all of their last 8 fixtures have ended in over 2.5 goals, with all but 2 seeing both teams scoring as well.

Their 5 match winning streak leaves them riding high in the MLS Western Conference, sitting at the top of the table with 43 points from their first 26 games.

But Vancouver and Sporting Kansas City are hot on the tail, with the former trailing by just 1 point and the latter having 3 points to make up. Vancouver also have a game in hand over them, whilst Sporting Kansas City have 3 matches to make up on the leaders.

This makes the continuation of their winning streak imperative, as any dropped points could leave them quite a way behind should Kansas win their games in hand.

New York City are slowing making their way up their own table. They are now in 7^th position in the MLS Eastern Conference, but have only averaged just over a point per game.

A win on Sunday could send them as high as 5^th position, but both the teams they would leapfrog have games in hand over the newly formed side.

But New York City could be on the way towards a run of good form. They have avoided defeat 2 games in a row for the first time since the middle of June, and managed a very impressive 3-1 victory over league leaders DC United a couple of weeks ago.

With 4 of LA Galaxy’s last 5 games ending with over 3.5 goals, and all of them ending in an LA Galaxy win, I think that odds of 15/8 for an LA Galaxy Win and Over 3.5 Goals are incredibly good value.
