📋 Team News: Minnesota United
Ryen Jiba (Unknown Injury), Robin Lod (Torn Meniscus) and Kervin Arriaga (Torn Meniscus) won’t be able to feature for Minnesota United manager Adrian Heath.
It’s our opinion that Loons may well employ a 4-2-3-1 formation for this one featuring Dayne St. Clair, D.J. Taylor, Michael Boxall, Bakaye Dibassy, Ethan Bristow, Bongokuhle Hlongwane, Franco Fragapane, Emanuel Reynoso, Jan Gregus, Hassani Dotson and Teemu Pukki.
📰 Team News: Sporting Kansas City
Sporting Kansas City manager Peter Vermes has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Graham Zusi (Muscle Injury) and Kortne Ford (Achilles tendon surgery) are those who can’t be considered.
We’re of the thinking that SKC appear most likely to begin the game with a 4-3-3 formation using Tim Melia, Jacob Davis, Daniel Rosero, Andreu Fontas, Logan Ndenbe, Remi Walter, Nemanja Radoja, Erik Thommy, Johnny Russell, Alan Pulido and Daniel Salloi.
🧠 Prediction
