Prediction: 3-1
Minnesota United
After suffering a 2-1 loss to Colorado Rapids, Los Angeles Galaxy will be looking to return to winning ways in MLS when they welcome Minnesota United at their Stubhub Center. Zlatan Ibrahimovic misses the game against Colorado through suspension, but he returns to the starting line-up against the Loons and all eyes will be on the Swedish attacker when the two sides face each other in Sunday’s football game. Minnesota United head into the match following back-to-back defeats to the likes of Vancouver Whitecaps and Seattle Sounders and seeing that LA Galaxy are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed. In previous two meetings between the two teams in the Major League Soccer Los Angeles Galaxy emerged triumphant (3-0, 2-1) and there is every chance the history is going to repeat itself.
