Prediction: 1-0
Minnesota United
New England Revolution play host to Minnesota United at their Gillette Stadium in a highly-anticipated MLS game. The Revs did well to beat Sporting Kansas City on the road at the weekend, with the team moving closer to the playoffs berth, and they are surely capable of matching the Loons on home soil. First-choice goalkeeper Matt Turner is back from international duty, while important attacker Adam Buksa misses out with injury.
Minnesota United, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to New York City, and seeing that they suffered three defeats in the previous four away games, we are tempted to put our money on New England Revolution. All Hassani Dotson, Romain Metanire, and Patrick Weah are sidelined through injuries, while there are no suspended players in the away team ahead of the trip to Foxborough.

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.
