Los Angeles team news and form: #9 ready for action
Olivier Giroud made a second appearance for Los Angeles in the match versus the Sounders on the 18th of August. We trust he will be on the bench against the Rapids as well, but he will surely get minutes in the second half.
Predicted lineup: Lloris (GK), Long, Chanot, Murillo, Atuesta, Ilie, Palencia, Hollingshead, Bouanga, Kamara & Bogusz

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.
