Prediction: 2-2
Minnesota United
Following back-to-back defeats to St. Louis City and Real Salt Lake, Portland Timbers will look to give fans some cheer when they welcome Minnesota United to their Providence Park on Thursday evening. The Timbers have been struggling to find their best form of late, but a win over Minnesota United will see them stay in the playoffs berth. Costa Rica forward Ariel Lassiter is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while Canada defender Kamal Miller is back from suspension.
The Loons, on the other hand, are eager to overtake San Diego FC in top position in the standings. As both Minnesota United and Portland Timbers will go for a victory in Sunday’s encounter, we are tempted to place our bets on both teams to score. The likes of Dotson, Jung Ho-yeon, Keller, and Speel are all expected to miss out with injuries for the away team.
Highlighted Team (Minnesota United):
Based in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul area, Minnesota United are a professional soccer club that will compete in the Western Conference in the Major League Soccer from 2017. The Loons will make their MLS debut against Portland Timbers on March 4, 2017 and, no doubt, they have big ambitions for the forthcoming season.
Minnesota United are the sixth team to join MLS from a lower division and they will welcome their rivals at TCF Bank Stadium. The capacity of the stadium is 52.525 and it was opened in September, 2009. Bill McGuire is the club’s owner and he is on a quest to turn Minnesota United into a top-table side in the Western Conference.
Adrian Heath will be in charge of the club in the 2017 season and it has to be noted that the English tactician used to train the likes of Manchester City, Everton, Aston Villa and Espanyol in the past. You should know that the club was founded on March 25, 2015.
