Prediction: 2-0
Austin FC
Minnesota United will be looking to extend their unbeaten run to five games when they take on Austin at Allianz Field. The Loons have been producing fine displays of late, with the team creating a number of goal-scoring opportunities in a 1-1 draw with Dallas. Minnesota United aim to return to winning ways in MLS, and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Thursday’s clash.
Austin, on the other hand, are on a six-game winless run ahead of the trip to Minnesota. Josh Wolff’s troops have been struggling in front of goal of late, which is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. Opara is injured for the hosts, while all Hoesen, Pereira, Schoenfeld, Segura, and Sweat are out of contention for the visiting team. The two teams meet for the first time ever at Allianz Field.
