LA Galaxy host Minnesota United at the Dignity Health Sports Park on Wednesday for a clash in the MLS as they look to return to winning ways.
After winning four times in five games between July and August, LA Galaxy have failed to win their next three.
Consecutive draws against Houston Dynamo and St. Louis were followed by a 4-2 loss at the hands of city rivals, Los Angeles FC last weekend.
This downturn in form has seen them slump to 13th in the Western Conference table with 30 points from 27 games. For context, only Colorado Rapids are ranked lower than them.
On the other hand, Minnesota United saw their seven-game unbeaten run ended by a 1-0 loss to Sporting Kansas City last weekend.
Gadi Kinda scored the only goal of the game in the 84th minute to break Minnesota's resistence and condemn them to their first loss since 8 July.
With 37 points in the bag from 28 games, the Loons are in eighth position in the table.

Neither side have looked strong in their recent outings. Minnesota will enter the tie with confidence for having turned their fortunes around in the fixture in recent times, but they too come into the match on the back of three winless games like LA.
We expect a dull affair that could end in a low-scoring draw.
