Montreal vs LA Galaxy Prediction 22 August 2026
🔊 In this MLS regular season match, Montreal Impact take on LA Galaxy. Both sides are sitting near the bottom of their respective conferences, though Galaxy's position looks slightly more favourable. A competitive match is expected, and the visitors from California should be capable of making it a contest.
Head-to-Head
📊 The last time these two sides met was back in 2022, when LA Galaxy won 4-0. Anything before that is too far back to be relevant.
Head-to-head statistics Montreal - LA Galaxy
Montreal Impact Team Overview
The team's most recent official match took place on as part of the MLS tournament (home team - Columbus Crew, away team - Montreal Impact). The match concluded with a scoreline of 1:2.
Here's the game statistics (Montreal Impact vs Columbus Crew):
- ball possession: 38% vs 62%;
- corner kicks: 3 vs 5;
- fouls: 7 vs 7;
- yellow cards: 4 vs 2;
- shots on target: 7 vs 2.
Montreal's form hasn't been great lately. Yes, they did beat Columbus Crew (2-1) the other day, but before that they had gone a month without a win. They've had real trouble putting opponents away - in a relatively recent match against DC United (1-1), they generated 2.49 xG but couldn't convert. It's hard to see that changing sharply in the final phase of the season. Montreal may well stay within their very modest average of around 1.4 goals per game, while conceding considerably more - close to 2 per match on average.
Match Results: Montreal Impact
Los Angeles Galaxy Team Overview
The away team played their last official match on as part of the MLS tournament (home team - Los Angeles Galaxy, away - San-Jose Earthquakes). The match concluded with a scoreline of 1:0.
Here are the match stats (Los Angeles Galaxy vs San-Jose Earthquakes):
- ball possession: 37% vs 63%;
- corner kicks: 2 vs 5;
- fouls: 12 vs 17;
- yellow cards: 2 vs 3;
- shots on target: 7 vs 5.
LA Galaxy have not been in great form recently either - one win in their last five matches, though the 1-0 victory over San Jose Earthquakes is at least something to build on. Over the course of the season, they are averaging just over a goal scored per game and around 1.5 conceded, which is essentially the same picture as Montreal. The one additional factor here is that Galaxy are away from home. Given that they do not carry a particular threat in attack, there is not much logic in trying to impose themselves on the road. A more cautious, counter-attacking approach makes more sense, and it could pay off.

⭐ Editor's Pick
Both sides are going through a difficult spell right now, and their problems are fairly similar in nature. The match is likely to be a tight, back-and-forth affair. As the away side, LA Galaxy will be particularly cautious, though their counter-attacking play could function at a decent level. We don't expect the hosts to dominate, and a 1-1 draw looks the most probable outcome. Our pick is LA Galaxy not to lose.
