LA Galaxy vs Minnesota Preview: Odds, Tips and Prediction

The hosts have made a promising start to the season, and the more they play, the more they begin to look like a genuine playoff contender in the Western Conference. Their attacking style is almost single-handedly becoming the most entertaining and lethal aspect of their approach, and so they have become a difficult side to contend with in the MLS. 

At home, they are incredibly dangerous, committing to a high line and looking to dominate possession at every turn of the wheel. Expect them to dictate the tempo and control the game from the first whistle. 

With that being said, though, their defensive frailty remains a concern, and so Minnesota will always remain a threat. 

This is a Minnesota side who remain one of the most structured and defensively disciplined sides in the MLS. They have become a side who give very little away and so become difficult to break down and take points off. 

Interestingly, this is a side who rely on possession and positive rotations of the ball. They are comfortable sitting deeper and show a degree of patience, trusting their ability to play through the lines and find space in their attacking third. 

They have become a value option for punters wanting to take advantage of generous betting prices, but underestimating the potential of this team would be horribly naïve
