📋 Team News: Minnesota United

Patrick Weah (Knee Injury) and Hassani Dotson (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) will be missing for Minnesota United gaffer Adrian Heath.

It seems likely that Loons should kick off with a 4-2-3-1 formation for the game, utilising Dayne St. Clair, DJ Taylor, Michael Boxall, Bakaye Dibassy, Kemar Lawrence, Wil Trapp, Kervin Arriaga, Franco Fragapane, Emanuel Reynoso, Bongokuhle Hlongwane and Robin Lod.

ℹ️ Team News: Los Angeles Galaxy

From a largely healthy group of players, there’s only the one fitness problem for the Los Angeles Galaxy boss Greg Vanney to be concerned with. Adam Saldaña (Ankle Injury) misses out for this game.

We are inclined to think that The Galactics might begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 system with a starting lineup of Jonathan Bond, Julian Araujo, Sega Coulibaly, Derrick Williams, Chase Gasper, Rayan Raveloson, Marco Delgado, Douglas Costa, Efrain Álvarez, Kévin Cabral and Javier Hernandez.

For this match, we think that Los Angeles Galaxy should have enough to find the back of the net against this Minnesota United side, although it might not quite be as many as they will have scored against them.
