Minnesota United come into this game in 3rd place in the league having secured 10 wins, eight losses and four draws in their last 22 matches. The squad has had five wins in the most recent six matches and have netted a total of 31 so far, conceding 26. This has principally been due to the energy demonstrated by Emanuel Reynoso, who has nine goals, and Robin Lod who has six. In their most recent match, Minnesota United fell to Houston Dynamo 1-2.

With a tally of 30 points so far this season, Portland Timbers are ready for the game and will continue to give it their all. They defeated San Jose Earthquakes 2-1 last Sunday and the team has had four wins in the last six matches and so far this campaign, they’ve managed seven wins, six losses and nine draws. When they have done well this season, it’s mostly been thanks, in large part, to the showings by Jaroslaw Niezgoda and Bill Tuiloma. Can the pair steerTimbers to success here?
