Los Angeles Galaxy host Real Salt Lake in the MLS at the Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California on Sunday evening. Both these teams are currently in the lower rung of the MLS Western Conference standings, and could soon be dumped out of contention for qualifying for the playoffs.
Los Angeles Galaxy have lost four of their last five games, and are bottom of the Western Conference. They lost their last game 5-2 to Portland Timbers, who gave the Galaxy a sound thrashing.
That result meant Los Angeles Galaxy relieved coach Guillermo Barros Schelotto off his duties.
Real Salt Lake's recent form has been a bit better than Los Angeles Galaxy, but it is nothing to be extremely proud of either. Real Salt Lake have managed one points more than Los Angeles Galaxy in the last five games.
In their last match, Real Salt Lake were put to the sword by Chris Wondolowski, whose brace ensured a 2-0 win for San Jose Earthquakes.
