MLS 2022: It's official! Douglas Costa joins LA Galaxy

This duel has quite a history in Major League Soccer and as such, the two clubs have met in 31 matches.
Of those 31 matches, DC United won 7, while the LA Galaxy won 13. Interestingly, of those 31 matches, 11 ended in a draw, and on average, 2.84 goals were scored per match in the matches between the two teams.
In their last 5 duels, DC United won two, LA Galaxy won only 1 and in terms of draws, there were only 2, so this match is expected to be very intense due to how much both clubs know each other on the field.
For this match, specialized sites such as Scores 24 have predicted that the LA Galaxy has a 2.22 probability of winning the match, while DC United has a 2.74 probability of winning.
A draw is also a probability and a very high one at that, as this result has a 3.84 chance of occurring, which could repeat the same result that both teams have seen in their previous duels.
As for which team will score, the page cited indicates that yes, and that this probability is 1.39, while for no, i.e., that neither team will score, the probability is 2.81.
Although it is not known for sure if Douglas Costa will line up in this match, the most likely player to do so is Javier "Chicharito" Hernández, who in previous days showed off the team's new uniform on social networks.
The Galaxians know that last season they owed a debt to their fans and perhaps because of that debt, is that in this transfer season they went all out to get the Brazilian, who will team up with "Chicharito", in what is expected to be the goal-scoring duo of the season.
This idea was reinforced by Costa himself who in recent days in an interview said: "I did not have the opportunity to see the Galaxy last season, but everyone knows Chicharito and he is an important player with great scoring ability and I am grateful for the opportunity to play with him.
But the Galaxy isn't the only team looking to surprise with out-of-the-box signings in MLS 2022, as the club's deep interest in Carlos Tevez has been reported.
While it has been two weeks since this information came to light and there has been nothing concrete, according to The Athletic, Felipe Cardenas and Pablo Maurer note that there is a "25 percent" chance that Tevez's addition by the club from the U.S. capital will happen.
If Tevez's arrival becomes a reality, it could even overshadow Lorenzo Insigne's legacy at Toronto FC.
