Minnesota United and LA Galaxy meet in very different states of form. The hosts just lost 2-4 in their last match and are on a losing run. Meanwhile, the visitors just drew 1-1, closing with an unbeaten result in their last match. Minnesota United still have defensive problems, conceding more goals than they score throughout the season, but their home attack still creates chances consistently. According to the expected lineup, Cameron Knowles is likely to field a front three of Kelvin Yeboah, Tomas Alejandro Chancalay and Joaquin Nicolas Pereyra together in a 3-4-3 to press the opponent from the top. As for LA Galaxy, the expected 4-3-3 places Marco Reus and Sergi Roberto Carnicer controlling the rhythm in midfield, with Kyogo Furuhashi as the central striker. Their away games still concede goals more easily than they should. If the hosts score first from early pressure, the game will tilt even more one way, because LA Galaxy will have to open up and fight, which will open space for Minnesota United's front three to counter more comfortably.
