LA Galaxy host Los Angeles FC (LAFC) at Dignity Health Sports Park on Sunday in the first El Tráfico derby of the ongoing MLS season.
The Galaxy are enduring a historically poor campaign, currently winless in 13 matches and having lost their last five MLS games, including a recent 3-2 defeat to Philadelphia Union, where they squandered a two-goal lead. Defensively, they have been particularly vulnerable, conceding a league-high 31 goals. Despite these struggles, the Galaxy have won two of their last three El Tráfico matches at home, including a 4-2 victory over LAFC last season.
Los Angeles FC have found renewed momentum following their exit from the CONCACAF Champions Cup, going unbeaten in their last six league matches, including a commanding 4-0 win over Seattle Sounders.
