There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Major League Soccer game only three days ago. That game was also an away game, at Los Angeles FC. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

This pitch has artifical turf, which is not Minnesota United's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artifical turf Minnesota United have performed like this: Played eight matches resulting in 4 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats with the goal stats 10-10 (scored/conceded).

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 2900 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
