LA Galaxy vs Minnesota United Prediction: Just give LA Galaxy 3 points already!

LA Galaxy is back in business in the MLS and they are hosting Minnesota United at the Dignity Health Sports Park. They suffered a huge blow after losing to arch rivals Los Angeles FC last week and they are on course to turn their results around and calm the doubts growing around the club. Minnesota United are visiting the Dignity Health Sports Park and they hope to put an end to their misery that had resulted in 5 straight defeats in their last 5 games. But the odds are in favor of the LA Galaxy in this game, unless Minnesota can pull a rabbit out of the hat.

LA Galaxy were left disappointed with the result of the last game against Los Angeles FC. They needed to prove their credentials against the very best team, but they failed instead.
