Minnesota United vs Los Angeles FC Prediction & Pick

Although Los Angeles' blowout win over St. Louis was impressive, it must prove that it wasn't a fluke. After all, LAFC was on a four-game winless streak before that victory. There's also the fact that Los Angeles has failed to win four of its previous five road matches and is only 3-3-3 in away scenarios this season.

Minnesota has seen its fair share of troubles too, but it's at least won twice by a three-goal margin in its last three outings. Having said that, the Loons have struggled to get the ball rolling at home, only winning twice at Allianz Field so far this season.

There's a good chance that this encounter will end in a draw. Both sides are feeling good about themselves, but Minnesota and Los Angeles have struggled at home and on the road, respectively. It'll be a back-and-forth contest with neither team getting the clear upper hand.

Final Score Prediction: Minnesota: 2 | Los Angeles: 2

Minnesota United vs Los Angeles FC Best Bet

With four of the last five Minnesota-LAFC matchups ending with an even score, backing a draw as the best bet is worth some consideration. I'd also feel comfortable taking the Under on the 2.5-goal total.

Bet: Draw (+250)
