Player to watch: Dejan Joveljic
Once more we trust Joveljic will be a difference-maker for coach Vanney. So far, he scored 12 goals, which is as many as international legend Lionel Messi has. If the Serbian goalscoring machine continues on the right path, he might just prove our LA Galaxy vs Colorado Rapids predictions correct.
Second player to watch: Riqui Puig
The Spanish attacking midfielder is going to cause trouble for the Rapids this week for sure. He is one of coach Vanney’s most consistent performers this season, and we are sure he has a place among the starters as well.
