Small play here on the over 2.5 (-105)
-Galaxy's Home opener, (just got back from Toronto) fatigue will come into play for the defense.
-Galaxy's defense missing their most important weapon Omar Gonzalez. Back line is still learning how to play as a unit. They gave up 2 quick goals in their game Wednesday.
-Galaxy has the most lethal attackers in the league. Keane, Donovan, Beckham, Buddle, Mcgee, Juninho. ALL THESE GUYS CAN SCORE and can easily cover the total themselves.
-Real Salt lake has a potent offense, they have done well against the Galaxy historically.
- ALL-TIME (19 meetings): Galaxy 7 wins, 28 goals … Real 7 wins, 31 goals … Ties 5
- AT LA (10 meetings): Galaxy 6 wins, 16 goals … Real 3 wins, 14 goals … Ties 1
- Last years meetings. RSL 4-1. LA 2-1. LA 3-1. (the last game could have been 4-3 very easily)
These two teams strengths are their offenses. I expect both teams to come out loose on opening day and expect a 2-1 win from either team today or a 2-2 tie. The reason I can see LA not winning this game is because they have a huge Champions league game on Wednesday against Toronto and depending on how the game plays out the coach might start to save some players for that game.
good luck yal
