Game Preview
LA Galaxy sliced Colorado Rapids in the opening stage of the MLS playoffs with a combined result of 9-1. Their attack is fantastic, and over the past ten games, this unit didn’t score two or more goals just twice.
That’s because of an evenly distributed scoring, as three players have 17 hits this year – Riqui Puig, Gabriel Pec and the Serbian forward, Dejan Joveljic. Pec has 15 assists, Puig 10.
Minnesota United is without a loss in the last seven MLS fixtures. They have six wins and a tie during that stretch. Unlike Galaxy, this team is more defense-oriented. During their invincible streak, Eric Ramsay‘s boys posted five clean sheets.
Furthermore, United is ultra-conservative on the road, with them not allowing a single goal over the past four outings. Goalkeeper Dayne St. Clair is dominating in front of the net.

LA Galaxy vs. Minnesota United Prediction
We expect United to close the midfield and defend fiercely. They are playing like that for quite a while, and have excellent results. Since it is a one-game knockout stage, both teams will be cautious, and that’s why under 2.5 goals looks like a good bet.
- LA Galaxy vs. Minnesota United pick: Under 2.5 goals
