Player to watch: Dejan Joveljic
When you score nine goals in Major League Soccer by June, you deserve a special shoutout in our LA Galaxy vs Sporting KC prediction. That’s what Serbian goalscorer Dejan Joveljic managed to do this season, and we are convinced he will start for coach Vanney against Vermes’ side.
Joveljic catching up to Messi
The match against Sporting KC is an amazing opportunity for Dejan to catch up to Lionel Messi in the goalscoring department. La Pulga has 12 goals this season, but if LA Galaxy’s striker can put on a show at Dignity Health Sports Park.
