LA Galaxy vs Minnesota United predictions and football betting tips for MLS 2022

Given the form LA Galaxy are in, it comes as no surprise that they are the odds-on favourites to win the tie on Thursday. At the same time, however, one cannot discount the fact that they have fared well against LA Galaxy in their recent outings, winning one of their last three matches while drawing twice.

History means little in matches like this though and now that LA Galaxy are out of the US Open Cup, they can now concentrate on their MLS campaign.
