In that case, only 2 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Minnesota to get some points in this home game.
Minnesota United are returning here after guesting Detroit City in a US Open Cup fixture and winning with a 3-1 scoreline.
Prior to that, an away loss at Seattle Sounders in the Major League Soccer.This is expected to be a close game, with Minnesota United perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage.
