Minnesota United form and stats

There's been little loot from Minnesota United's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 8 away games in the Major League Soccer. Minnesota United only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 1 draw. It's a growing despair in Minnesota United as they have recorded three consecutive losses.

Minnesota lost away at Inter Miami (1-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Minnesota United goalkeeper Clair was glad for a splendid day's work versus Inter Miami, but in spite of managing six saves the defeat could not be evaded. The attacker Amarilla got a match rating of 7.42 in that game. Amarilla scored one goal and hit one key pass.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against New England wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Minnesota playing away, we found 4 games. Results were 0 away wins, 1 draw and 3 home wins.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Real Salt Lake in just four days.
