Player to watch: Diego Rossi
Attacking midfielder Diego Rossi is among the finest Major League Soccer players in recent seasons. After Cucho Hernandez left, Rossi took a more engaging role in the attack, which is why he managed to score twice in the opening four MLS games. His presence on the pitch at Mercedes-Benz Stadium will benefit our professional DC United vs Columbus Crew predictions greatly.

Second player to watch: Steven Moreira
Steven Moreira of the Crew is also performing at a very solid level. The right-back supplied teammates with two assists this season.
Player to watch: Hugo Lloris
Near the end of his professional career, Hugo Lloris is performing at a very high level for his new and possibly last team. The French veteran is a firm starter for his team, and with only six goals conceded since the start of the MLS season, we believe he will play a key role at Snapdragon Stadium.

Second player to watch: David Martinez
Martinez scored the opener for Los Angeles in the match against Sporting KC last week. We are confident that with him among the starters for the visitors on the 30th of March, our top San Diego vs Los Angeles predictions just can’t lose.
