LAFC's recent form has been inconsistent, with losses in the Concacaf Champions Cup and MLS, interspersed with victories. Their upcoming match against Portland Timbers on April 19th will be a test, especially considering their recent head-to-head record, which is mixed with a recent loss and a draw in the last two games in 2023. LAFC's defense will need to tighten up, especially after conceding several goals in their previous matches.
San Jose Earthquakes, also playing on April 19th against Sporting Kansas City, will look to build on their recent 6-1 victory against D.C. United. However, their overall form has been patchy, with several losses in March. Sporting Kansas City has been struggling too, but has won their most recent game against St. Louis CITY SC. Recent head-to-head matches suggest that the Quakes will be in for a tough game, as Sporting Kansas City has won three of the last five games.
Analyzing the game in relation to previous encounters, LAFC has historically dominated San Jose Earthquakes at home, often scoring multiple goals. This trend continued in this match, solidifying LAFC's home advantage in this MLS rivalry.
