The Minnesota United manager A. Heath attacks this game with the team placed 13th so far. In the visitors dressing room Austin and their manager J. Wolff are in 8th place before this match.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
