Minnesota United battle against Dallas for glory and sporting success.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Major League Soccer. This match was also played here at Allianz Field. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Dallas have had more rest.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 800 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Minnesota United form and stats
Only two Major League Soccer home games for Minnesota United so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat.
A nice win for Minnesota last time playing, versus Real Salt Lake. That was also a home game and the match ended 4-0 with Robin Lod (2), Jacori Hayes and Chase Gasper scoring for the victors. Heartbreak before that as Minnesota lost 0-3 at Houston Dynamo's place.
As mentioned above, Minnesota "killed" Real Salt Lake in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Minnesota have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found ten games) they have won six times, drawn two and lost two.
The manager A. Heath will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Sporting KC in only four days.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Minnesota United at home in the league. 5 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

Dallas are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Major League Soccer, having played 2 games and collected 2 points (0 wins, 2 draws and 0 losses). Visiting Dallas has seen their last two away games both end with a tied score and one point each.

We have checked recent matches where Dallas have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those twelve games were three victories, four draws and five defeats.
