LA Galaxy host San Diego FC at Dignity Health Sports Park on Saturday, October 17 (10:30 PM ET \/ 9:30 PM CT \/ 7:30 PM PT).<\/strong><\/p>\n

LA Galaxy have no fresh availability concerns to report heading into this one, and the attacking picture should look familiar: Klauss leading the line after a return of eight goals this season, with Reus pulling strings behind him having created a team-high 63 chances. Paintsil offers a secondary scoring outlet from the number 10 area, having already scored 5 times himself. San Diego FC are similarly unaffected on the fitness front, with Ingvartsen and Dreyer expected to lead the front line after 12 and 11 goals respectively, and Valakari offering another option from midfield.<\/p>\n

Expect goals at both ends of Dignity Health Sports Park. LA Galaxy’s defence has been porous this season, sitting on a -11 goal difference, but their attacking group has enough quality to outscore a San Diego FC side who have struggled at the back themselves, evidenced by a -3 goal difference of their own. The visitors have shown they can trouble better opposition than this, drawing with Inter Miami and Austin FC in recent weeks, but LA Galaxy’s edge in quality up top, allied with home advantage, should be enough to get the win in a game with goals in it at both ends.<\/p>\n\n\n
