Player to watch: Hugo Lloris
We have Hugo Lloris down as the player to watch in our key Los Angeles vs Minnesota United prediction, as he is by far the most important player on the team for LAFC. Take the match against Liga MX’s Eagles, for example. LAFC won via a 2-1 score, as veteran Lloris made five vital saves.
Second player to watch: Will Tapp
Defensive midfielder Will Tapp will have the difficult task of shutting down tremendous Olivier Giroud. Tapp is a 32-year-old MLS veteran. He knows what he has to do in order to succeed.
