Minnesota United desperately need points on Sunday, Oct 25 at 2:30 AM in the MLS. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Houston Dynamo come into this fixture in good form (3W 1D 1L recently). Minnesota United travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Despite playing at home, Houston Dynamo face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Minnesota United have won 6 of 10 encounters, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Houston Dynamo won 1–3. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.8 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Houston Dynamo a slight edge, but Minnesota United are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
