ℹ️ Team News: Minnesota United

The Minnesota United boss Eric Ramsay doesn’t have any fitness worries to speak of ahead of this clash thanks to a fully injury-free squad available for selection.

📰 Team News: Sporting Kansas City

Due to a completely injury-free group to choose from, the Sporting Kansas City manager Peter Vermes does not have any fitness concerns whatsoever ahead of this clash. Jake Davis will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

We reckon that SKC could decide to make use of a 4-3-3 formation, going with Tim Melia, Kayden Pierre, Daniel Rosero, Andreu Fontas, Tim Leibold, Erik Thommy, Nemanja Radoja, Remi Walter, Johnny Russell, Alan Pulido and Dániel Sallói.

✨ Prediction

We’re of the opinion that Minnesota United will, in all likelihood, dominate on the ball and be rewarded with decent chances.

However, Sporting Kansas City may well struggle to break down their defence - but, we do see them pulling one back during this clash, too.

Therefore, we are anticipating a 3-1 winning score for Minnesota United by the time that the referee blows the final whistle.
