Minnesota United host St. Louis City SC at Allianz Field on Saturday, October 17 (4:30 PM ET \/ 3:30 PM CT \/ 1:30 PM PT).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Minnesota United have no fresh absences to report, so Kelvin Yeboah continues to lead the line after a 16-goal season built on 69 shots, with Anthony Markanich Jr. supplying 35 chances created from midfield and Joaqu\u00edn Pereyra orchestrating from behind the striker with a team-high 68 chances created. St. Louis City SC come in with their key men available too: Simon Becher leads their scoring with 9 goals from 67 shots, Daniel Edelman has created 21 chances from attacking midfield, and Christopher Durkin continues to screen the back line after 2184 minutes this season.<\/p>\n

Minnesota sit 13th in the Western Conference<\/a> with 31 points and a -9 goal difference, well outside this year’s playoff picture, while St. Louis City SC are second with 51 points and a +16 mark, firmly inside it. The underlying form tells the same story \u2014 Minnesota have drawn their last 2 matches after 3 straight losses, while St. Louis City SC’s form reads W W W W D, a draw at Vancouver the only blemish on a run of wins. Expect a cagey night at Allianz Field rather than an avalanche of chances, with St. Louis City SC’s superior quality in behind the ball the difference.<\/p>\n\n\n
