Galaxy Eye Road Warrior Status vs. Crew
22 Apr
Summary
- Galaxy seek to surpass 2025 road point total.
- LA Galaxy rallied from a two-goal deficit recently.
- Crew struggle at home under new coach.
The Los Angeles Galaxy have an opportunity to surpass their entire 2025 road point total with a win against the Columbus Crew on Wednesday. As of April 22, 2026, the Galaxy have already earned eight points away from home this season, one more than they accumulated over the entire 2025 campaign.
This newfound road confidence was evident in their recent 2-2 draw at FC Dallas, where they recovered from a two-goal deficit. Galaxy coach Greg Vanney expressed optimism about maintaining this momentum during a challenging stretch of upcoming road games.
In contrast, the Columbus Crew are experiencing difficulties, particularly at home, with a 0-1-2 record at their venue. First-year coach Henrik Rydstrom faces challenges as the team has secured only one win in their last five matches overall.
Offensively, the Crew must adapt without their leading scorer, Wessam Abou Ali, who is out due to a torn ACL and meniscus damage sustained on April 12, 2026. The Galaxy, however, welcomed back Joseph Paintsil from a hamstring injury; he immediately impacted their last match with a goal and an assist.
