Player to watch: Denis Bouanga

After bagging 16 goals in Major League Soccer, Bouanga thought it would be nice to show he can do it in the Leagues Cup as well. He scored the third goal for his club in the match against Seattle Sounders a couple of days ago. Surely, his presence is a plus in favor of our top Los Angeles vs Colorado Rapids predictions, right?

Second player to watch: Mateusz Bogusz

Similar to Bouanga, Bogusz is also scoring like there’s no tomorrow. He found the net on 13 occasions in MLS. He definitely has the required arsenal to help his team succeed versus the Rapids as well.
