Player to watch: Cristian Arango
As stated earlier in our San Jose Earthquakes vs Minnesota United prediction, former Real Salt Lake City star Arango has scored a goal for the Quakes. We are confident that this will be the first of many, as Arango is enjoying the best year of his professional career.
Second player to watch: Cristian Espinoza
Arango’s partnership with Cristian Espinoza will undoubtedly be a fruitful one. The latter is the top creator on the team. The playmaker assisted teammates on two occasions so far this season.
