Team Form

Ventura County come into this match with three wins, one draw, and one defeat in their last five outings. Their most recent result was a 3-2 away loss to Vancouver Whitecaps II on Jul 08, but prior to that they beat Real Maryland Monarchs 3-1 at home, drew 1-1 with Colorado Rapids 2, and secured home wins against Houston Dynamo II (3-1) and Vancouver Whitecaps II (2-1). That run shows strong home form, with three victories and a draw in their last four at their own ground.

Los Angeles II have recorded two wins, two draws, and one loss in the same five-game period. They played out consecutive 0-0 and 2-2 home draws against Portland Timbers II and Real Maryland Monarchs, before winning 3-1 at home to Houston Dynamo II and 1-0 against Minnesota United II. Their only away fixture in this stretch ended in a 2-0 defeat at Austin II on Jun 08. That loss, combined with a lack of recent road trips, leaves question marks over their away form.

League Table Positions

In the overall MLS Next Pro standings, Ventura County sit 9th with 30 points from 18 matches (10 wins, 8 losses). Los Angeles II are not inside the top 12, meaning they currently trail Ventura County in the table. The home/away splits show Ventura County missing from the top-8 home table, while Los Angeles II are 4th in home form but unranked among the top-8 away sides. This suggests Ventura County’s home advantage could be a factor, but their overall home record remains modest.
