Landon Donovan
Goals = - 4803 + 2.40 SeasonBased on this model, we predict that Donovan will score about 19 goals next season if he stays healthy and gets substantial playing time… if he comes back from Germany.

Conclusion
We have come to see that the two goal scorers are very similar in their statistics, but Donovan does have the slight edge and seems to still be on the rise. Galaxy fans better pray he comes back from Germany in time for the next season because we see that he’s such a major contributor in goals.
