Colorado is coming into this match playing in awful form in their recent matches. They have lost their last 5 straight as well as 6 of their last 7 matches going back to the regular season. Their defense has been awful in these matches as they have allowed at least 3 goals in 4 of their last 5 as well as 5 of their last 7 matches, and their attack has not been great as they have gone scoreless in 2 of their last 3 as well as 3 of their last 5 matches. They have also lost their last 2 straight matches at home, getting outscored 4-1 in those 2 matches. They are already down 1-0 in this series as the Galaxy won the 1st meeting in LA 5-0, but Colorado also lost to the Galaxy at home 3-1 in the regular season back at the start of October, so the LA Galaxy have beaten Colorado twice over the last month by a combined score of 8-1, 1 of those matches being in Colorado as well. They are going up against an LA Galaxy side that has been in great form in their recent matches. They have won 4 of their last 5 matches and they have been one of the better teams in the Western Conference all season. Their attack has been on fire in these matches as well, scoring at least 2 goals in 6 of their last 7 matches as well as scoring at least 3 goals in 3 of their last 5 matches. The Galaxy have been in great form recently and Colorado has had no luck against them recently, the Galaxy winning the last 3 straight meetings and scoring at least 3 goals in each of those while only allowing 3 goals total in those 3 matches. The LA Galaxy will win this match and advance to the next round.
