LAG vs NER Dream11 MATCH PREVIEW:

The Story so far:

But it was soon marred by a run of four consecutive losses in May, which the team managed to snap with two successive wins in the last two matches.
Only city rivals Los Angeles FC have racked up more points then Galaxy‘s tally of 28 points this season. The five-time MLS cup winners are 2nd in the West.

Three wins, 4 draws and 8 losses; that’s how the New England Revolution have fared so far this season.
Though the team managed to halt the fall by some degree after picking two points in the last two matches. Certainly, a cause for optimism if you consider that the 1-1 draw in the last match was against Eastern Conference leaders DC United.

Galaxy have improved their defensive performance in recent weeks, conceding just once in the last three league games.
The backline looks impenetrable at the moment, with the goalkeeper David Bingham proving to be a giant presence between the posts. He has league’s 2nd best shot saves ratio. He will definitely start the match in goal.
