Prediction: 3-1
Minnesota United
Sporting Kansas City and Minnesota United go head to head at Children’s Mercy Park in what is expected to be a lively contest. The Wizards did well to make amends for a heavy loss to Los Angeles FC< with the team beating Chicago Fire in their last league match. Sporting aim to overtake Seattle in top position, and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Minnesota. Jaylin Lindsey is sidelined through injury, while Felipe Hernandez remains out of contention due to personal reasons. The Loons, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Seattle Sounders. Minnesota United are not regarded as good travelers, and seeing that Sporting have the best home record in the Western Conference, we do not believe that the visitors are going to grab something from the midweek clash. Both Chase Gasper and Osvaldo Alonso are banned for the match, which is yet another reason why home win should be considered.

Filipe Gutierrez is a Spanish footballer who plays as a central midfielder for La Liga side Real Betis. The Chilean international is capable of playing as both attacking and left midfielder as well and he started his senior career at Universidad Catolica.

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.
