Minnesota United desperately need points on Sunday, Sep 20 at 2:30 AM in the MLS. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Minnesota United come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L recently). LA Galaxy, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 2D 1L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Minnesota United and LA Galaxy have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (3W–3D–4W). Their last encounter ended in LA Galaxy won 1–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 4.2 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Minnesota United a slight edge, but LA Galaxy are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
