San Diego FC vs LA Galaxy Picks
Despite the Galaxy's МLS-best history, their dismal start to the season, with a winless run of 14 games, suggests a different outcome in the 2025 rematch. San Diego FC has made a positive impact in the league, despite the expansion tag, currently sitting in a promising third place in the Western Conference standings.
The team boasts contributions from several players, including Anders Dreyer (6G/6A), Chucky Lozano (4G/6A), Onni Valakari (3G/5A), and Luca de la Torre (2G/1A). A total of seven different players have at least one goal and one assist this season for San Diego FC, indicating a balanced attacking force.
In contrast, the Galaxy's sluggish performance this season is evident in their struggles in numerous categories, including Goals Allowed (33), Goal Differential (-21), xGD/90 (-0.80), Shots on Target Pct (30.9%), Defense 3rd & Final 3rd Tackles (87, 22), Aerial Duels (43.1%), and Interceptions (95).
Despite reclaiming a draw against LAFC last week, it is questionable whether the Galaxy can shake off their historical losing streak and manage an upset against San Diego FC this weekend.

- San Diego FC to Win (-143)
