Our prediction for this MLS match:
Minnesota United play host to St Louis City at their Allianz Field in what is expected to be an interesting MLS game. The Five Stripes aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Sporting Kansas City and Los Angeles Galaxy, but they face yet another tough challenges against the Western Conference leaders. Joseph Rosales limped off with injury in the last league match, with Ethan Bristow likely to step up.
The newcomers, on the other hand, have drawn each of their last three league matches and, no doubt, they are eager to return to winning ways. Since Minnesota are capable of finding the net in front of home fans, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. Sweden midfielder Rasmus Alm should be the only absentee in the visiting team. In their first and only meeting in the MLS Minnesota United defeated St Louis City 1-0 thanks to Luis Amarilla’s goal.
