Only a few games have been played in the Major League Soccer so far, with Minnesota United placed 6th and New York City sitting in the 10th position.
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.
New York City have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
