Joveljic, Pec, and Puig have scored a total of 32 league goals this season! Seeing as all three are fit and ready for action, we believe coach Cherundolo’s players will have to be at their lethal best in terms of defending if they are to get a good result this week.

Player to watch: Denis Bouanga
Denis Bouanga of LAFC is slacking. Sure, he has 16 league goals so far and this is an admirable feat indeed. However, if he wants to scoop another Top Goalscorer Award, he’d have to be even more active in the opposition’s penalty box, as Christian Benteke of DC United already has 18 goals to his name.
Second player to watch: Riqui Puig
LA Galaxy’s Puig is the second player we’d like to turn your attention to in our LA Galaxy vs Los Angeles prediction, as he has found the net on 9 occasions this season already.
