Minnesota United FC vs. LA Galaxy picks and predictions
Prediction
Minnesota United 1, LA Galaxy 1
Moneyline (ML)
SPRINKLE DRAW (+290).
While United has won 3 straight games, Minnesota has struggled against top opponents this season. It has drawn the reigning MLS Cup champions, Columbus Crew, 1-1 and the West’s top team, RSL, 1-1. United is 1-1-1 in its last 3 home games.
For the Galaxy, it is a top team in MLS and has drawn 2 straight games and 5 on the season. LA has handled top opponents now, having drawn the top team in both conferences — Miami 1-1 and RSL 2-2.
For the value here, back DRAW (+290) for 1 unit.
Over/Under (O/U)
BET UNDER 3.5 (-136).
This is a lofty total, and the Under has the best value in this match. LA has gone under this total in 4 of its last 7 games and 2 of its last 3. It will be facing a strong United defense which is allowing just 1.1 goals per game.
United has gone under this total in 7 straight games and has only topped it once, holding 5 of its last 7 opponents to 1 or 0 goals. United has not gone over this total at home either, and 3 of its 5 home games have ended with fewer than 2.5 total goals.
Back UNDER 3.5 (-136).
