A massive 13 points separate the two sides on the Western Conference log with Galaxy looking to rise a place up to third while Rapids are unlikely to rise from their 11th place even with a win but they will be hoping to build on the two straight wins they carry to this game. Galaxy are not in the best form going to this game, with two losses and six wins in their last 13 but they have won just two of their last five matches and go to this clash seeking a first win in three matches. At home they have been doing well though in recent matches. They have three wins and two draws in the previous five and have scored 15 goals but conceded seven. They have scored two or more goals in eight of their last nine matches which gives them good confidence heading to this game and at home they are unbeaten in the last six matches, five of those being MLS games. In the MLS, Galaxy have lost just once in the last 11 and have scored twice or more in their last five league matches. The grey area for Galaxy though is their defence, having kept just four clean sheets in the last 15 league matches and all their last five MLS matches have yielded over 2.5 goals. Rapids, on the other hand, have two wins, a loss and two draws in their last five matches, and they have one win, three losses and a draw in the last five away games, scoring five and conceding eight. They have four wins and seven losses in their last 15 matches and just two clean sheets in the last 15 games. In the MLS, Rapids have lost eight of their last 15 matches and have managed just two away win in 30 MLS games and three clean sheets in 25 away matches in the MLS. Head to head, the two sides have met 62 times and Galaxy have managed 29 wins while Rapids have managed 23.
