Claim Welcome Bonus🏠 Minnesota United: form and statistics
True promise has been shown by Minnesota United this season to place 3rd in the Western Conference with 6 wins, 4 draws, and 3 losses. But the recent disaster-a 0-2 loss against Houston on 14th-running-was a reminder of how badly fixture congestion can affect form. Loons rotated heavily midweek and ensured that there was no attacking fluidity on the pitch for Joshua, which resulted in a disappointing loss.
Despite the reverse, Minnesota has won 3 of their last 5 games (LWWWL) and are virtually untouchable at home with a DWDLW record. The defense is pretty much solid, while attackers like Jeong and Oluwaseyi have come up with big hits. They are often composed and tactical in their 11-a-side actions, with less than 4.5 cards in 4 of the last 5 games.
Head coach Adrian Heath will be keen on his team making an instant reaction against St. Louis City at Allianz Field, where crowd support may turn out to be an important factor. Minnesota will also be buoyed by the fact that they have beaten St. Louis City three times out of four in all-time meetings. Should they rediscover their attacking verve and maintain defensive discipline, there will be a lot of confidence going into Sunday's clash with an eye on victory.

✈️ St. Louis City SC: form and statistics
In terms of standings, coming in at 14th spot with just two wins from thirteen (2W-5D-6L), St. Louis City SC is very much troubled below the lower end of the Western Conference. Their recent 2-2 draw with Kansas City Derby rivals on May 14, however, gave some hope. Célio Pompeu and Cedric Teuchert scored two goals at the start, albeit a bit too early. The defense then fell apart in the second half. And still, with over 40% of fan votes, Pompeu's thunderbolt from distance was crowned MLS Goal of the Matchday, indicating that there is individual talent in the side.
Though the Eminos' current form of DLWLD is far from consistent, it hints at an awakening attack. They have managed to score first in four out of five matches in recent weeks, while both sides have been netting goals in four of those same games. St. Louis tends to be the side that plays risky, open attacking football with over 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five encounters, yet defensive blunders are still punishing them as this team has now conceded four defeats in a row.
Off the pitch, the club and the city are rallying in response to a tornado that struck them on May 16, causing several fatalities and widespread damage. The city, emotionally strained, will be looking up to this fixture as a moment of togetherness, with Coach Bradley Carnell barking at his players to fight for pride.
📝 St. Louis City SC Lineup
🔖 Expected Lineup: Bürki, Hiebert, Watts, Yaro, Baumgartl, Hartel, Ostrák, Wallem, Teuchert, Klauss, Célio Pompeu
⛔️ Out: A. Morales, T. Totland, Chris Durkin
👤Head coach: Ollof Mellberg
