Marco Reus (Galaxy) has managed three goals in his past five MLS games. We believe that there is merit in backing him for an Anytime Goalscorer prop wager at +180 which means we need to him to be on the scoresheet.

Corners Prediction
LA Galaxy have failed to cover the 4.5 corners line in two straight games, with San Diego conceding under 4.5 corners in the past six matches. It looks a logical viewpoint that the Team Corners line won’t be reached and you can land a price of -110 for this Galaxy wager.
