Player to watch: Dejan Joveljic
In 21 domestic league outings, Joveljic bagged 12 goals. To say he’s a one-trick pony would be unfair, as he also provided teammates with four assists. He has the quality to perform for his manager and we are sure that giving him a shoutout in our San Jose Earthquakes vs LA Galaxy prediction is the right call.
Second player to watch: Riqui Puig
Former FC Barcelona starlet Puig will surely be on coach Vanney’s starting list for the game against San Jose Earthquakes. Since the start of the campaign, the Spaniard has had eight goals and five assists. If he continues behaving so well, we are sure he will be a contender for the Player of the Season Award.
