Player to watch: Denis Bouanga
Denis Bouanga scooped the Top Goalscorer Award in Major League Soccer last season. Surely, he will want to defend his title as the best finisher in MLS this season as well. So far, he has ‘only’ 17 goals to his name. However, the match against St. Louis City is a tremendous opportunity for him.
Second player to watch: Olivier Giroud
World Cup Champion Olivier Giroud deserves to be singled out in our Los Angeles vs St. Louis City prediction. He already took part in a few games for coach Cherundolo and we are sure he will be among the starters in the match against St. Louis City as well.
