Minnesota United desperately need points on Sunday, Sep 13 at 2:30 AM in the MLS. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

St. Louis City 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, St. Louis City face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Minnesota United have won 6 of 7 encounters. Their last encounter ended in Minnesota United won 2–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 4.0 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: The gulf in league position makes St. Louis City clear favorites, but Minnesota United have shown they can grind out results. Expect St. Louis City to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
