New York City
Los Angeles Galaxy enter the season opener in excellent form, collecting 2.30 points per game across preseason and the end of last season, with a perfect 100% home win rate in their last five at Dignity Health Sports Park. Therefore, we predict a 2-1 home win. Offensively they look dangerous, averaging 2.40 goals per game at home, while conceding just 0.40, and the arrival of stars such as Marco Reus and pacey winger Joseph Paintsil adds even more creativity. However, they remain without influential midfielder Riqui Puig.New York City, on the other hand, are low on confidence following a 2-0 loss to San Jose Earthquakes in their last warm-up game, with the team generally struggling on the travels.. Defensively, though, the Blue Pigeons conceded 1.50 goals per game overall last term, and travel weakened with injuries to Jones, Martinez, and Perea. H2H history is goal-heavy, with all three previous meetings producing BTTS and over 2.5 goals.
