New York Red Bull

Is number last in the Eastern Division with a stats of 5-5-6 and a goalscore of 16-24 in 16 matches. They have scored 20 points aout of 48 possible points this season so far.

I average that gives them a goalscore of 1,00 - 1,50 per match overall. At home the team of New York is having a 4-2-1 stats with a goalscore of 9-7, which gives an home score of 1,28 - 1,00 in average per match.

New york has a strong 12 man in the fans at home. They give the players good motivation and they force them to performe good. Normally they have around 13-15.000 spectators, but with a visit from LA Galaxy with Beckham on the team, there will probably be over 25.000 spectators to support New York at home.

And against LA New York have a tremendous statistics. The two teams have played against each other at New York Stadium 13 times and New York has won the 9 matches. 1 match played draw and 3 times LA won. Last time LA won was in year 2000.

At the match Saturday night E.T, New York is starting with strongest team in long time. They have no injuries and no disciplines.

When it comes to form, the team is not in the best shape. The latest 2 games was lost against Colorado and Kansas and the 3 was draw against Chivas.


LA Galaxy

LA Is number 2 in the Western Division with at stats of 6-4-6 and a goalscore of 34-31 in 16 matches. It is an average of 2,12 - 1,94 per match LA has been involved in, this season so far

The away stats is 2-1-3 with a goalscore of 11-13, which gives an average of 1,83 - 2,16 per away match played by LA this season.

LA plays very offensive soccer with a strong offensive line, such as Landon Donovan, David Beckham, Edson Buddle which also is showed on their goalscoring strike.

They have the best offensive line in the mls but also the poorest defensive line. And at the moment the team are is big trouble. They have the smallest troup, when it comes to players and right now they have also the biggest injury list.

For some weeks ago, Ruud Gullit was forced to ask some employees in the office line to play with the second best team in the club, because of to many injuries in the first line troups.

LA has also Abel Xavier on the discipline list for the match against New York and the injurylist looks like this :

GK Charles Alamo (R knee)
DF Sean Franklin (R knee)
GK Vito Higgins (R foot)
GK Josh Wicks (L knee)
DF Abel Xavier (L knee)

DOUBTFUL:
DF Ante Jazic (back spasm)
MF Bryan Jordan (R hamstring)
MF Brandon McDonald (L foot)
DF Joe Franchino (L hamstring)
MF Peter Vagenas (R quad)


Conclusion

In all our conclusion is that the clouds could be better for the team of LA. Their forces is the offensive line remains intakt, but the question is how much pressure they can put on, helping the rest of the team, because of all the injuries.

On the other site New York can only surprise and the can come up with the strongest team and the history is also with them when it comes to winning against LA at home.

I think that the match will be tight but that New York will win 1-0 or 2-1.
