- Overall Record: 1-2-2
- Home Record: 1-1-1
- Road Record: 0-1-1
- Top Goal Scorer: Joao Klauss (6)
After a disappointing 2025 season, the LA Galaxy look like a serious challenger in the Western Conference once again in 2026. The Galaxy have been spurred on by the inspired signing of Joao Klauss, who has already netted six times in all competitions.
Their attacking threat to this point has been eye-catching, scoring in all five of their fixtures, and averaging a high xG of 1.86 per game. But, defensively there is still room for improvement, having allowed 1.6 goals per fixture.

Jakob Glesnes (Calf) Joseph Paintsil (Thigh) Ricard Puig (Knee)
Likely Line-Up:
(4-3-3): Marcinkowski; Yamane, Haak, Garces, Aude; Cerrillo, Reus, Wynder; Pec, Klauss, Thommy
Minnesota United Stats & Team News
- Overall Record: 1-2-2

- Road Record: 0-1-2
- Top Goal Scorer: Kevin Yeboah (2)
An unsettling start to the season for Minnesota United has led to an underwhelming period, with coach Eric Ramsay departing before a ball was kicked. Cameron Knowles has stepped into the void, but United have won just one of their opening five fixtures in 2026.
A poor run of form has seen Minnesota fail to win in their last three, allowing nine goals in their last two on the road. A 0-0 draw against the Seattle Sounders before the international break snapped a losing run.
Injury News:
No Injuries/Suspensions
Likely Line-Up:
(4-4-2): Callender; Diaz, Duggan, Romero, Markanich; Duncan, Triantis, Trapp, Pereyra; Yeboah, Chancalay

LA Galaxy vs. Minnesota United Picks
