Insights:
  • Minnesota United have the most conceded goals (10) in Major League Soccer

The hosts Minnesota saw competitive action as recent as three days ago, playing 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.

Dallas have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Minnesota United form and stats

Three Major League Soccer home games done for Minnesota United, who are not happy collecting 3 points from these matches.

Robin Lod, who plays in attack, was the top performer for the team in that game, scoring a rating of 8.34 (out of 10). Lod served one assist, hit four key passes, dribled passed the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 26 successful passes (of 29 total). The victory against Vancouver Whitecaps came after Ramón Ábila's winning goal. The Minnesota manager A. Heath was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 65th minute.

A defeat was the result before that one, 2-3 away at Colorado Rapids.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.
