Major League Soccer: The mid-table positions show the journey Los Angeles FC and Minnesota United have been on so far. Both teams are up for it; let's go!
- Los Angeles FC have the most dropped points from leading position (12) in Major League Soccer
- Minnesota United have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
These teams have little in common geographically as Minnesota United have to travel 3100 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Los Angeles FC form and stats
4-3-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Major League Soccer numbers at home for Los Angeles FC so far this season.
Los Angeles FC drew their last game, also a home match. Vancouver Whitecaps (placed 12th) was the opponent, 2-2 the score. Carlos Vela, who plays in attack, was the top performer for the team in that game, scoring a rating of 7.41 (out of 10). Vela scored one goal. Trouble was brewing at the score 0-2 against Vancouver Whitecaps last time out, but a goal from José Cifuentes completed a comeback to a draw result for Angeles.
Heartbreak before that as Angeles lost 1-2 at Portland Timbers's place.A decent goal production from Angeles in their home games so far, with 13 goals from 8 league matches. Angeles have conceded 8 in these home matches.
Minnesota United form and stats
There's been little loot from Minnesota United's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 6 away games in the Major League Soccer. Minnesota United only have 1 win to counter their 3 defeats and 2 draws.
Robin Lod and Chase Gasper scored in Minnesota United's previous match, the home game against Portland Timbers that ended 2-1. Midfield player Emanuel Reynoso was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.83/10. Reynoso hit the woodwork once, served one assist, hit eight key passes and dribled passed the opponent 5 of 8 times.
That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Seattle Sounders.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Minnesota United manager A. Heath as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Vancouver Whitecaps.
The attacking power of Minnesota when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 6 league matches away. As for defending, Minnesota rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 11 goals from these away matches.
