Back Over 2.5 Goals @ 1.748/11 in Colorado v LA Galaxy

LA Galaxy have been on a goals spree recently and Tobias Gourlay reckons it should continue in Colorado tonight

At the time of writing, the sun is still rising and yesterday's bet is just kicking off. While Japan holds its breath, we're headed to the States for today's bet.

Colorado Rapids were surprisingly held to a goalless draw by Houston last time out at Dick's Sporting Goods Park. It was the first time Colorado had failed to score there this season, and the first time in eight home games that Anthony Hudson's men had not got to Over 2.5 Goals. We're backing them to return to form against LA Galaxy this evening.

The Rapids have conceded twice in 7/8, while Galaxy have notched 11 in their last four away games. Under Sigi Schmid, two-thirds of the Galaxy's road matches have delivered Over 2.5 Goals (12/18), including six of the last eight. Both teams' records suggest 1.748/11 is a generous price for Over 2.5 Goals again tonight.
