Minnesota United host FC Dallas at Allianz Field on Wednesday, September 9 (8:30 PM ET / 7:30 PM CT / 5:30 PM PT).
There’s a clean bill of health on both sides heading into Allianz Field, with no fresh fitness concerns reported for Minnesota United or FC Dallas. Minnesota should still lean on Kelvin Kwarteng Yeboah, who has scored 11 goals this season, alongside playmaker Joaquín Pereyra, who leads the squad with 57 chances created. FC Dallas will again look to Petar Musa, who has scored 16 goals from 71 shots, with Logan Farrington offering an extra 7 goals in a smaller share of minutes.
Minnesota United are ninth in the Western Conference on 29 points, still within reach of a playoff spot, while FC Dallas sit fifth with 34 points and a healthier +4 goal difference. Allianz Field has rarely stayed quiet this season, and with Kwarteng Yeboah’s movement up top and Musa’s finishing at the other end, this one should have goals in both boxes. Dallas carry useful away form on paper, but Minnesota’s home numbers suggest they nose it in a game that swings back and forth before settling 2-1 in the hosts’ favour.
