LA Galaxy vs Minnesota United Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | MLS 2024

The home team will aim to return to winning ways.

LA Galaxy had a golden chance to secure even points as the side currently on top in the last match. However, they couldn’t capitalize as they lost the match to rivals LAFC. Everything was set for them as the stadium had an outstanding atmosphere.

The loss marked the end of their winning record of four matches. Greg Vanney’s team now find themselves in the third spot in the MLS Western Conference. 

Minnesota United are going through a poor run of form after losing five consecutive matches in a row. Things are looking worse for the team after conceding 14 goals in the last five matches. The defence has looked all over the place while the injury to Teemu Pukki hasn’t helped either.

They currently occupy the eighth position in the Western Conference table and will be relieved to collect points in this away trip.

Players to Watch

Ricard Puig (LA Galaxy) 

The former Barcelona graduate has established himself as one of the key players in the team. This MLS season has been an incredible one for Puig. So far he has netted six goals in 18 matches while also providing another five assists.

His performance in the middle of the park for the team has helped LA Galaxy to maintain their position at the top. His vision and creativity can be a key asset for the team going forward. 

Robin Lod (Minnesota United)

Robin Lod is an experienced head who has demonstrated his quality for Minnesota United the whole season. This season, he has scored five goals and assisted another eight for the team in an underwhelming campaign. Predominantly playing in the central midfield, he has been deputized in several positions. His ability to play several positions makes him an asset to the team.
