ℹ️ Team News: Minnesota United

Kipp Keller (Hamstring injury) and Hassani Dotson (Meniscus injury) will be missing for Minnesota United manager Eric Ramsay.

In our view, Loons should opt for a 5-4-1 system for this game, beginning the first half with Wessel Speel, Julian Gressel, Jefferson Díaz, Michael Boxall, Nicolás Romero, Anthony Markanich, Bongokuhle Hlongwane, Owen Gene, Wil Trapp, Joaquin Pereyra and Kelvin Yeboah.

📰 Team News: Houston Dynamo

Houston Dynamo boss Ben Olsen has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Nelson Quiñónes (Knee injury), Andrew Tarbell (Cruciate ligament tear), Daniel Steres (Leg injury) and Erik Sviatchenko (Leg injury) won’t be making appearances.

We’re of the thinking that Orange Crush appear most likely to begin the game with a 4-1-2-3 system using Jonathan Bond, Griffin Dorsey, Pablo Ortiz, Femi Awodesu, Felipe Andrade, Artur, Ondrej Lingr, Junior Urso, Amine Bassi, Ezequiel Ponce and Sebastian Kowalczyk.

🔮 Prediction

We’re inclined to think that Houston Dynamo will likely create enough chances to break down this Minnesota United lineup, but that probably shouldn’t be as many as the goals that they could concede.

We’re going for a very close game with a 2-1 winning margin for Minnesota United at the end of the 90 minutes. It’s a very tough call.
