Competition: MLS Play-Offs

Market: LA Galaxy draw no bet

Odds: 5/6 @ BetUS

Holding a dominant first-leg advantage, LA Galaxy will travel to Denver in the early hours of Saturday when they meet Colorado.

Starting with the hosts, while Colorado might have dragged themselves to a play-off ticket for this season, the Rapids find themselves at the heart of what has become a public crisis. Putting in a woeful performance last weekend as they fell to a nightmare 5-0 drumming against LA Galaxy, Chris Armas’ side have watched their play-off adventure go up in smoke. Signing off their regular-season campaign with a 3-2 loss at the hands of Austin, the former Leeds coach has some mounting pressure on his shoulders. Signing off September with a 3-0 defeat away at Minnesota, Saturday’s hosts have now lost each of their last five straight showdowns against MLS opposition. Gaining a major reputation for their glaring defensive struggles, it should also be noted that Colorado have shipped 15 goals on their five-match losing rut. Hit with that infamous 5-0 loss when they travelled to Los Angeles last week, Armas’ downbeat squad are simply hoping for an improved display here.

As for the visitors, storming their way to that 5-0 romp in Los Angeles last week, LA Galaxy will simply be looking to extend on their play-off adventure with another statement of intent. Now winning four of their previous five meetings against MLS opposition, Greg Vanney’s side appear to have hit top gear at a crucial time. Signing off September with an action-packed 4-2 victory against Vancouver, Saturday’s guests will also be excited by a dominant record against Colorado. Including a 3-1 win when they travelled to the Rapids back on October 3rd, they have now won each of their previous three battles by an aggregate score of 11-3. Likewise, it should also be noted, the Galaxy have lost just one of their last six meetings across all competitions. Suffering just a sole defeat at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park since way back in September 2019, we are backing an away draw no bet this weekend.
