Los Angeles FC vs Minnesota United Match Preview

Los Angeles FC is ranked at 5th place with 22 points and comes after three wins a draw and a loss over the last five matches. It has been a season full of ups and downs for them so far, but still they are in the race to secure a playoff spot and this game could play a crucial role.

With 20 goals scored so far they have shown a very good offensive side and in the last five matches they have scored a total of eight goals, averaging a goal per game, while managing to find the back of the net at least once in each encounter. In fact they have been scoring with consistence over the last ten games in a row.

With offensive players like Cifuentes 5 goals - 2 assists, Rossi 5 goals - 1 assist and of course the veteran Carlos Vela 4 goals - 5 assists, I think they have quite some quality upfront to try and win this game.

Minnesota United, on the other hand, is ranked at 6th place with 21 points and comes after the exact same form with three wins a draw and a loss over the last five matches. Currently they also sit into the playoff zone, but their distance from the 8th spot is just two points, so they will need to avoid a defeat in this one.

They have scored only 15 goals so far which is not that great but they have scored six goals over the last five matches, averaging at least a goal per game and they are surely improving their performances in attack.

For them the key players have been midfielder Lod who netted 4 goals and 2 assists so far, alongside the two strikers Hunou and Abila with 2 goals each.

In conclusion, I think this match can have over 2.5 goals. Los Angeles FC might not be the same dominating team they used to be, but they still play an offensive football creating many chances while they leave spaces behind. I expect at least a goal from them since they are at home, but I fancy Minnesota United to score a goal too as they will be presented with quite some opportunities.
