The meetings between these two teams have a history in which Los Angeles FC clearly look superior, both at home and away. They have beaten Minnesota United several times by comfortable scorelines, but this time Minnesota United arrive on an unbeaten run stretching over several matches, and have just thrashed their opponents 3-1 at home in their latest match, while Los Angeles FC themselves have just drawn 2-2 at home, so this game does not look as easy as in the past. Los Angeles FC have scored 50 goals from 32 matches this season, but their defence is not especially tight, particularly early in the second half when they concede often. Minnesota United have scored a similar amount but have conceded 56, so defence is a problem area for both teams, and that should make this game more open and end-to-end than expected. If Los Angeles FC dominate possession and push high as expected, goals should come at both ends, because Minnesota United attack well late in games and often score from counter-attacks. The first half may not be especially open, but the second half should clearly produce more goals than the first.
