Prediction: 1-1
Minnesota United
Following a 2-2 draw with New England Revolution, St Louis City will look to return to winning ways in MLS when they take on Minnesota United on Sunday morning. St Louis City have been scoring goals for fun of late and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-oriented strategy against Minnesota. All Joakim Nilsson, Celio Pompeu, and Tomas Ostrak are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Loons, on the other hand, quickly bounced back from a 3-2 loss to Seattle Sounders, with the team beating San Jose Earthquakes on the road. St Louis City, though, are tough to beat at home, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on draw. A man to watch in the away team will be South Africa attacker Bongokuhle Hlongwane, who scored a brace against San Jose, while midfielder Loic Mesanvi misses the match with a shoulder injury.
Highlighted Player (Wil Trapp):
Wil Trapp is an American footballer who plays for Columbus Crew in MLS as a midfielder. Born in Columbus, Ohio, Trapp played for Akron Zips during his college career and in 2013 he returned to his hometown club Columbus Crew. Over the years the 173-cm tall footballer has established himself as a first-team regular and thanks to his thrilling performances in the Major League Soccer, he earned a place in the USA national team.
Wil Trapp made his USA debut on January 28, 2015 in a 3-2 loss to Chile. The Columbus man did well to wear captain’s armband in a friendly game against Bosnia and Herzegovina in January, 2018. Speaking of his club success, Trapp made it to the Eastern Conference play-offs with Columbus in 2015. His main position is defensive midfielder, but he is used as a centre midfielder as well.

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.
