2nd position in the Major League Soccer table for Minnesota United so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 7th-placed Orlando City visits Allianz Field.

It's no vacation for neither Minnesota United nor Orlando City as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

It's quite the trip for Orlando City when visiting Minnesota United as the cities are 2500 kilometers apart.
