2. The Galaxy's passing game is a weapon

The Galaxy boasts a pair of players in their midfield that have four assists each on the season. Marky Delgado and Ricard Puig have a combined eight assists for LA.

Forward Joseph Paintsil also has produced three assists of his own. With multiple players feeding the ball to their scorers, the Galaxy should be able to have their way against San Jose.

Two other players, Diego Fagundez and Julian Aude, also have a pair of assists, too. Controlling the passing lanes and maintaining time of possession will help the Galaxy on defense and pull off the win on Sunday.
