Minnesota United host LA Galaxy at Allianz Field on Saturday, September 19 (8:30 PM ET / 7:30 PM CT / 5:30 PM PT).
Minnesota United have no fresh injury concerns and will again lean on Kelvin Kwarteng Yeboah in attack, the striker sitting on 13 goals from 57 shots (27 on target) this season. Anthony Markanich Jr operates just behind him, his 27 chances created the highest figure in the squad, while Joaquín Pereyra offers a further outlet after racking up 67 chances created of his own. LA Galaxy also have a clean bill of health, and Marco Reus remains central to everything they do in midfield, with 54 chances created and 6 goals from 36 shots this season, while Joseph Paintsil adds further threat with 5 goals and 20 shots on target from an advanced role.

Minnesota United vs LA Galaxy Prediction
Minnesota United and LA Galaxy arrive with the Western Conference picture still to shake out – the Loons 12th on 29 points, the Galaxy just above them in 10th on 30 points from a game more – and neither has found much rhythm lately. Expect goals at both ends given how both defenses have performed this season, but Kelvin Kwarteng Yeboah’s efficiency in front of goal should be enough to tip a tight contest at Allianz Field. We’re backing Minnesota United to edge it 2-1.
