Minnesota United host Sporting KC in MLS at Allianz Field, with kick-off at 12.30am (UK time) on Thursday 29 October.
The bookmakers make the hosts heavy favourites against the Western Conference’s bottom side, but Minnesota have won just three of their 15 home games and drawn seven.
Anthony Eadson’s Minnesota United vs Sporting KC predictions include two Premium Tips, with Kelvin Yeboah and the draw both backed.
Premium Tips
Two Premium Tips for Minnesota United vs Sporting KC, with Anthony Eadson taking on the short price about a home win.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Kelvin Yeboah anytime scorer | 17/20 (William Hill) | Kelvin Yeboah has scored 17 MLS goals this season, more than double the tally of any Minnesota team-mate, and he started both of their last two games. Sporting KC have the worst defence in the league, conceding 77 goals in 31 games and 43 in their 15 away matches. They have kept just one clean sheet all season and have conceded at least twice in 12 of their 15 road trips. That gives Minnesota’s main striker a clear chance at 17/20. |
| The draw | 9/2 (Sky Bet) | Minnesota’s home results make the draw a tempting outsider at 9/2. The Loons have drawn seven of their 15 games at Allianz Field and won only three, and only one of those wins came by more than a goal. They are unbeaten in four, with three draws in that run. Sporting have not drawn away all season, which explains the price, but they have scored in eight of their 15 road games and Minnesota keep letting sides back in. |
