Only a few games have been played in the Major League Soccer so far, with Real Salt Lake placed 15th and Minnesota United sitting in the 2nd position.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
These teams have little in common geographically as Minnesota United have to travel 2000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
