Home vs. Road: The Galaxy are 1-1-0 at home this season after going undefeated at The Home Depot Center last season. The Revs are 0-2-0 on the road, and haven't won in the Pacific or Mountain time zone since August 2009 (17 matches).
Series History: The Galaxy won the last meeting between the two clubs, with Miguel Lopez scoring his only goal during his loan with LA. In the last 18 meeting in Los Angeles, the Galaxy are 10-4-4.
Saturday-Sunday: With the Galaxy and Chivas both scheduled for three home matches in March, it's meant some busy weekends at The Home Depot Center. For two of the three weekends, including this one, the Galaxy have taken the Saturday night match with Chivas playing on Sunday. Two weeks ago the teams switched, with Chivas taking Saturday night. This gave the Galaxy an extra day of rest after the CCL match with Toronto, and it showed in a favorable result.
In The Gutter Looking Up: The Galaxy find themselves in unfamiliar territory, currently tied with Chivas with three points for the last place spot in the West. The last two Supporters' Shield winning years, the Galaxy were at the top the entire way. There are three Eastern Conference teams still looking for their first victory.
