ℹ️ Team News: Minnesota United

Kipp Keller (Hamstring injury) and Hassani Dotson (Meniscus injury) are unavailable for Minnesota United boss Eric Ramsay.

We think that Loons could employ a 5-4-1 formation this time and select 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 choose a team with limited availability. Nelson Quiñónes (Knee injury), Andrew Tarbell (Cruciate ligament tear), Daniel Steres (Leg injury) and Erik Sviatchenko (Leg injury) are those who can’t be considered.

We’re of the thinking that Orange Crush seem most likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 formation with a starting lineup of Jonathan Bond, Griffin Dorsey, Femi Awodesu, Pablo Ortiz, Felipe Andrade, Artur, Junior Urso, Ondrej Lingr, Amine Bassi, Sebastian Kowalczyk and Ezequiel Ponce.

🔮 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.
