Player to watch: Denis Bouanga
We already mentioned Bouanga’s name previously in our Los Angeles vs San Jose Earthquakes prediction. That’s because he’s the one-man army sort of player under coach Cherundolo’s guidance! The Gabonese winger has a total of 25 goal returns in 2024!
Second player to watch: Cristian Espinoza
Espinoza may be quite far away from Bouanga in terms of goals, but very few players in MLS can actually hold a candle to his tremendous assist record. He aided teammates with 11 assists this season, which is really impressive to see.
