LA Galaxy finding unsteady footings in the very recent past, but that took a turn last week with their 3-1 victory at the Red Bulls, one that snapped New York's unbeaten home streak.
Minnesota United FC also facing a similar situation with a devastating start to the season ,followed by plenty of reasons for positivity . Sure, they fell 3-2 to Toronto FC last weekend, but comparing it to, say, March 2017, that's more than a respectable response to one of the top teams in the East.
Loon's in the beginning provided infamous goal fests for all of their opponents, later they tightened up their back line in a big way. After conceding eight goals in their first two home games, they've now conceded just one over their last three games at home.
The dream team of Christian Ramirez and Miguel Ibarra still ride high. And they're not exactly facing unfamiliar foes, either both recently spoke at length about their childhood Galaxy fandom. Fans are hoping to see rookie Abu Danladi whose debut league goal earlier this month offered tempting promise.
Minnesota United has faced 29 shots on target when playing at home this season, the third most in MLS. But Kevin Molino’s brace against Toronto FC last weekend was his second multi-goal game in his 47 regular season MLS appearances
M Bernardo Anor and Villardi wont be available for next match due to the injuries
The Galaxy’s 3-1 win away to the Red Bulls last weekend means they have only lost four of their last 10 away games (three wins three draws). They have scored multiple goals in seven of their last 10 regular season away games.
opponents should also probably worry about Gio Dos Santos' recent run of form, which has proved good enough to earn him a spot again on the Mexican national team roster.
Robbie Rogers, Lletget, Jones and Goal Keeper Diop seems to remain in the injury.

Besides last week's performance of the New York Red Bulls, they drew against Chicago Fire at home the match before that. And the Galaxy owe's Alessandrini himself plenty of credit for that. He have hands in 10 combined goals and assists so far this year.
Robbie Rogers, Lletget, Jones and Goal Keeper Diop seems to remain in the injury.
