Team Previews
Minnesota United FC
Minnesota United has been one of the most consistent teams in MLS this season, sitting second in the Western Conference with 15 points from eight matches. They are currently on a seven-match unbeaten streak, having not lost since their season-opening defeat to LAFC. Their most recent outing was a 0-0 draw against Toronto FC, where they dominated possession but struggled to convert chances. Head coach Eric Ramsay has emphasized the need for Minnesota to adapt to teams that stifle their counter-attacking style.
FC Dallas
FC Dallas sits eighth in the Western Conference with 11 points from eight matches. They are coming off a 1-0 home loss to Seattle Sounders, where they managed just one shot on target. Despite their struggles at home, Dallas has been unbeaten on the road, winning two and drawing two in their four away matches this season. Forward Logan Farrington has acknowledged that Dallas has performed better away from home and hopes to continue that trend against Minnesota.
