Los Angeles Galaxy are back in action with another MLS fixture this week as they take on Real Salt Lake on Wednesday. Both teams have been inconsistent this season and will want to win this game.
Real Salt Lake are in seventh place in the MLS Western Conference standings and have a few issues to address this season. The hosts suffered a shock 6-1 defeat against Portland Timbers in their previous game and will need to bounce back this week.
Los Angeles Galaxy, on the other hand, are in fifth place in the league table at the moment and have been fairly impressive this year. The away side suffered a 2-0 defeat against Austin FC last week and have a point to prove in this fixture.
