🗞️ Team News: Los Angeles Galaxy

It doesn’t get much better regarding selection, with just a single fitness concern for the Los Angeles Galaxy gaffer Greg Vanney to contend with from of an almost fully healthy group of players. Riqui Puig (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t play.

It seems likely that The Galactics should go for a 4-3-3 system in the match featuring Novak Micovic, Miki Yamane, Mathias Joergensen, Maya Yoshida, John Nelson, Lucas Sanabria, Edwin Cerrillo, Diego Fagundez, Gabriel Pec, Matheus Nascimento and Joseph Paintsil.

🗞️ Team News: Real Salt Lake

Real Salt Lake manager Pablo Mastroeni has to currently contend with reduced team options. Zac MacMath (Back problems), Diogo Gonçalves (Heel injury), Javain Brown (unknown injury), Emeka Eneli (Foot injury), Kobi Henry (Muscle injury) and Matthew Bell (Muscle injury) will miss out on this game.

We reckon that Claret and Cobalt could decide to play in a 4-2-3-1 formation, settling for Rafael Cabral, Noel Caliskan, Philip Quinton, Brayan Vera, Sam Junqua, Nelson Palacio, Braian Ojeda, Dominik Marczuk, Zavier Gozo, Diego Luna and William Agada.

🧠 Prediction

We’re inclined to think that Real Salt Lake are capable enough to put a goal past this Los Angeles Galaxy lineup, however that probably shouldn’t be enough to avoid a loss.

We’re going for a narrow 2-1 win for Los Angeles Galaxy by the conclusion of the game. Let’s just see how this one goes.
