🗞️ Team News: Los Angeles Galaxy
The Los Angeles Galaxy manager Greg Vanney has zero fitness concerns at all coming into this game with a fully healthy squad to choose from.
We think that The Galactics look set to make use of the 4-3-3 system this time featuring Novak Micovic, Miki Yamane, Maya Yoshida, Carlos Garcés, John Nelson, Elijah Wynder, Edwin Cerrillo, Diego Fagundez, Gabriel Pec, Matheus Nascimento and Joseph Paintsil.
📰 Team News: Minnesota United
Due to a completely healthy squad available for selection, the Minnesota United manager Eric Ramsay doesn’t have any fitness concerns whatsoever before this match.
It’s our belief that Loons appear most likely to make use of a 4-4-2 lineup, settling for Dayne St. Clair, Jefferson Díaz, Michael Boxall, Morris Duggan, Anthony Markanich, Bongokuhle Hlongwane, Nectarios Triantis, Wil Trapp, Joseph Rosales, Robin Lod and Joaquín Pereyra.
🧠 Prediction
Looking at these two, we feel that Minnesota United and Los Angeles Galaxy could both well score more than once here although it’s hard to see a clear-cut winner.
There shouldn’t be much in it, and a high-scoring draw looks to be quite a realistic result. We’re therefore anticipating a high-scoring affair with a 2-2 draw when the full-time whistle blows.
