Last meeting between the sides was a six-goal thriller

Los Angeles FC and Minnesota United will draw the curtains on the midweek Major League Soccer round. LAFC are aiming for their fourth consecutive league victory, and are poised to do so. The last meeting between the two sides at the BMO Stadium ended in a 5-1 victory for LAFC.

Meanwhile, Minnesota United will hope to ruin their streak and retain second place in the Western Conference, with veteran Teemu Pukki vying for a starting spot. It will be another thrilling encounter between these two sides.

Players to watch

Denis Bouanga (LAFC)

Denis Bouanga has scored eight goals and has provided five assists already this season in MLS. He has become the leading striker in the team due to his goal-scoring exploits. His recent goalscoring form would be key for the Black and Gold to claim victory against their opponents.

Jeon Sang-bin (Minnesota)

The 22-year-old South Korean footballer has been Minnesota United’s unsung hero in the last couple of games, scoring three goals. He has taken his team’s aspirations of finishing higher in the league table than last season, as a personal goal. Sang-bin’s pace and agility to move past the opponents make him a threat.

Match facts:

LAFC are on a winning streak of five games in all competitions

LAFC will be without five players for the upcoming clash.

Eduard Atuesta was sent off in that game and is suspended to play here.

Minnesota United’s manager Eric Ramsay could be without the services of his three players. Moses Nyeman (doubtful), Hugo Bacharach (out until late June – injury), and Emanuel Reynoso (sidelined due to off-field issues).
