Los Angeles Galaxy vs Minnesota United Prediction & Betting Tips - Major League Soccer

The Los Angeles Galaxy host Minnesota for an action-packed MLS game. The home side are sitting sixth in the Western conference, with Minnesota hovering in twelfth place. It has been a mixed campaign so far for Greg Vanney’s side. The recent exit in the cup against second tier side Sacramento Republic caused severe outrage among the Galaxy supporters. It also continued a negative trend that has seen the LA outfit concede in eight consecutive matches. The thirteen points accrued in their eight MLS home games so far cannot be considered an immaculate home record but the hosts are punctual in their attacking duties at least, scoring in eight of their last nine at the Dignity Health Sports Park. The downside is that they concede with an even greater ease than with which they score.

Minnesota are not doing much better than their rivals, in fact they are doing arguably much worse. Just one win in their last eight MLS games has seen the team venture much closer to the bottom places than the play offs which should have been their aim. They too come from a soul-crashing defeat, leading against Miami with two minutes on the clock but seeing an Inter substitute score twice in the dying stages of the game to completely overturn the deficit. In terms of defensive solidity or more specifically the lack of it, it has cost them valuable points, with the team failing to record a clean sheet in their last eleven games. They have also conceded two or more goals in four of their last five away games. In an interesting H2H statistic, Minnesota have conceded at least two goals in all four of the games they have played away at the Galaxy.
