After a 2-1 defeat to local rivals Los Angeles FC, the Los Angeles Galaxy will aim to bounce back and provide their fans with some excitement as they take on Minnesota United at Dignity Health Sports Park on Monday morning. The Galaxy have an opportunity to move up to second place in the standings and are expected to aggressively pursue a win against the Loons.
Despite the suspension of Spanish midfielder Riqui Puig, a home win seems likely given that LA Galaxy have won four of their last five home games. In contrast, Minnesota United is struggling with a four-game losing streak on the road, further supporting the prediction of a Galaxy victory. Additionally, Minnesota will be without Carlos Harvey, Tani Oluwaseyi, and Dayne St. Clair, who are all on international duty.
Prediction: 3-1 victory for Los Angeles Galaxy.
