Minnesota United vs Los Angeles FC Prediction & Betting Tips - Major League Soccer

Prediction published on 14/07/2023, 13:59  by Kennedy Kechula in Major League Soccer Predictions

Minnesota United will entertain Los Angeles FC on Sunday in their next Major League Soccer match. The two Western Conference teams are on opposite halves of the table with LAFC second and United 10th. Minnesota United have been in fine form in recent weeks and they will seek to keep this going here. Adrian Heath’s charges have won two of their last three league matches which has been down to their scoring form. They have scored eight goals in this run and last time out thumped Houston Dynamo 3-0. The win, their seventh of the campaign, moved them to within a point of the playoff places. Matches against United and LAFC have rarely produced a winner. Both teams have won twice each since the first league fixture was played between them in 2018. The Loons were last victorious against Sunday’s visitors in 2019.

Despite being second in the conference, Los Angeles FC have struggled with a lack of consistency. This has affected their hopes of qualifying for the Champions Cup. The reigning MLS champions have the seventh-best record in the league and sit two points outside of the league’s top four. They have racked up 36 points after winning 10 and drawing six of their 22 matches. After losing three matches on the trot, the Falcons have picked up four points in their last two games. They defeated Conference leaders St. Louis 3-0 at home and will hope this sparks a season turnaround. LAFC have gone five matches without defeat against Minnesota but they have won only once in this period.
