Minnesota United host St. Louis City in a league game where both sides need points for different reasons. The hosts sit 13th with 31 points from 29 matches and still need to collect points to stay clear of the lower zone, while the visitors are 2nd with 51 points and are fully in the hunt at the top of the table. Minnesota United have just come off two straight 2-2 draws, but before that they lost three in a row. Their defence is a clear problem, having conceded 53 goals in 29 matches, while St. Louis City are unbeaten in 5, drawing 0-0 away in their latest match and before that crushing their opponents 6-2 at home. Their attack has scored 54 goals all season, clearly more than the hosts. The pattern of play should therefore see the hosts needing to defend more solidly and wait for counter-attacking chances through the pace of their forwards, while the visitors will mainly dominate the ball and push forward. If Minnesota United can handle the visitors' attacking moves and avoid conceding easily as they have recently, this game has a chance of ending with the hosts not losing.
