Building a home-field advantage has not been easy for the Los Angeles Galaxy this season.
The Galaxy are seeking to claim a full three points at home for just the second time in 2017 when they host Real Salt Lake on Tuesday night at Carson, Calif. Los Angeles (6-7-4) has won once and totaled just six points in eight home matches this season — the worst of any MLS team on its own turf.
A two-game losing streak puts added pressure on the Galaxy. Los Angeles dropped its most recent match 2-1 to San Jose on Saturday while dealing with 12 absences against the Earthquakes due to a combination of injuries, suspensions and international call-ups.
