🗞️ Team News: Los Angeles Galaxy

Availability isn’t a big problem, with just the lone fitness concern for the Los Angeles Galaxy gaffer Greg Vanney to be concerned about from an otherwise complete group of players. Riqui Puig (Cruciate ligament tear) misses out.

San Jose Earthquakes boss Bruce Arena has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Niko Tsakiris (Leg injury), Noel Buck (Leg injury), Rodrigues (unknown injury), Cristian Arango (Muscle injury) and Bruno Wilson (Leg injury) miss out here.

💭 Prediction

In this match, Los Angeles Galaxy will most probably convert a lot of goal-scoring opportunities.

Conversely, San Jose Earthquakes will be up against it finding the net themselves but we do think that it’s more than likely that they will be converting at least once as well.

Our selection here is for a comfortable 3-1 winning margin for Los Angeles Galaxy at the end of the 90 minutes.
