Minnesota United vs Los Angeles FC Prediction & Pick
Although Los Angeles' blowout win over St. Louis was impressive, it must prove that it wasn't a fluke. After all, LAFC was on a four-game winless streak before that victory. There's also the fact that Los Angeles has failed to win four of its previous five road matches and is only 3-3-3 in away scenarios this season.
Minnesota has seen its fair share of troubles too, but it's at least won twice by a three-goal margin in its last three outings. Having said that, the Loons have struggled t o get the ball rolling at home, only winning twice at Allianz Field so far this season.
There's a good chance that this encounter will end in a draw. Both sides are feeling good about themselves, but Minnesota and Los Angeles have struggled at home and on the road, respectively. It'll be a back-and-forth contest with neither team getting the clear upper hand.
Final Score Prediction:'Minnesota: 2 | Los Angeles: 2
Minnesota United vs Los Angeles FC Best Bet
With four of the last five Minnesota-LA FC matchups ending with an even score, backing a draw as the best bet is worth some consideration. I'd also feel comfortable taking the Under on the 2.5-goal total.
