Prediction: 3-2
Austin FC
Following back-to-back defeats to Seattle Sounders and Real Salt Lake at the start of the season, Minnesota United will be looking to record their first win of the process when they take on Austin FC on Sunday. The Loons have been struggling at the back at the start of the season, but it seems as if they will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways. All Opara, Hansen, and Dibassy have been struggling with injuries, and the trio is unlikely to feature against Austin.
The newcomers, on the other hand, did well to record their first ever MLS win at the weekend, with the team beating Colorado 3-1 on the road. Austin FC aim to give fans yet another reason for celebration, but seeing that the Loons want this win more than the Greens, home win should be considered. Defender Ben Sweat, who was forced to leave the pitch after just 22 minutes against Colorado, is likely to miss the game through injury.
