Level sides, home ground swings it — Nothing separates them on our strength rating, and Major League Soccer home advantage gives Los Angeles Galaxy the lean. The draw at 29% is what level sides usually produce.
Why Los Angeles Galaxy in front?
Home ground, mostly. Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1495 to 1505. Sides this close won 43.1% of 16,066 home games (draw 26.7%, visitors 30.2%). Major League Soccer home sides out-perform the global norm — and the difference mostly flows to away wins (25.8% vs 30.2%).
