Charlotte FC vs LA Galaxy Prediction: LA Galaxy are close to that breakthrough win

Charlotte FC are back playing at home this week as they welcome LA Galaxy to the Bank of America Stadium for this round of fixtures. It's a major boost for the Charlotte fans who are in awe of their team's current form, as they take on a struggling LA Galaxy team. Surely a win for Charlotte won't be a lot to ask. 

Charlotte won their last 3 games in a row and as a result they are 5th on the eastern conference table, while LA Galaxy have drawn their last 3 and are ranked 5th on the western conference table. 

Confidence is a rare commodity these days, but Charlotte seems to have that in full with current results going just as they hoped. It's 3 wins in 3 games for Charlotte and they are pushing for more. Record of their last 5 games shows they had 2 defeats preceding the 3 wins.

Charlotte's last match was during mid-week and they traveled to Chicago and came out with 3-points. The first half was tight for both clubs and Charlotte found the breakthrough in the half hour mark, as Ashley Westwood scored what appeared to be the only goal in the game. Charlotte kept the lead until the end and claimed maximum points. According to stats, Charlotte had 38% possession, 2 shots on target and 7 corners.

For a club with high expectations this season, LA Galaxy ought to feel unimpressed by their recent results and a lot of work will surely be ongoing to improve. LA Galaxy have played 3 draws in their last 3 games and their winless streak is currently 4 games in a row. Results from their last 5 matches showed they had just 1 win, 3 draws and 1 defeat. LA Galaxy will have these results hunting them when they take on Charlotte in this game. 

LA Galaxy's last match ended in a draw and this time it was against Minnesota United. Minnesota took the lead in the 30’ minute, while Dejan Joveljic and Diego Fagundez both scored in the 61’ and 68’ minutes to give Galaxy the lead. But Galaxy conceded once again in the 80’ minute and the game ended as a draw. According to stats, LA Galaxy had 59% possession, 5 shots on target and 2 corner kicks. 

According to the h2h, these two clubs have played just 3 games against each other. Charlotte won 2 games while LA Galaxy won 1 game.

Despite what the results are saying, LA Galaxy are looking close to their breakthrough win. Charlotte will prove a difficult place to get it but there's no reason to write off any of these clubs in this clash.
