Minnesota United can beat Dallas
Minnesota United will be aiming for a repeat of their previous result, a US Open Cup victory against Detroit City by a score of 1-3. Franco Fragapane (in the 60th minute), Emmanuel Iwe (in the 63rd minute), and Luis Amarilla (in the 66th minute) scored to ensure that the Loons’ 18 total shots and six shots on target were not wasted.
Even though they defeated Detroit in the Open Cup, Adrian Heath’s squad struggled against Seattle Sounders last week. The MLS brawl at Lumen Field was entirely under the control of the home team, who possessed 66% of the ball and had more shots.
In recent years, Minnesota United has rarely maintained a clean slate. In fact, Minnesota United’s defense has been breached in five of their last six matches, resulting in seven goals conceded. However, only time will tell if the trend will continue in this match. In their 1-0 victories over FC Dallas and Saint Louis City FC, the Loons recorded clean sheets.
Minnesota aims to improve upon its 3-2-3 record this season. They have scored eight goals, three of which were assisted, and conceded eight as well. The Loons are 3-1-1 at home, where all eight of their goals have been scored. Bongokuhle Hlongwane, Luis Amarilla, and Mender Garcia each scored two goals to pace the team. Each of Franco Fragapane, Hassani Dotson, and Zarek Valentin has contributed one assist. With 11 points, Minnesota United is eighth in the Western Conference.
Several players will be absent from this contest. Adrian Heath will be without Emanuel Reynoso, Ryen Jiba (knee), Mikael Marques (ankle), and Bakaye Dibassy (thigh muscle rupture) due to suspension and injury, respectively. Kervin Arriaga is questionable to play due to a quadriceps injury, but he may attempt to play.
Dayne St. Clair, Zarek Valentin, Michael Boxall, Miguel Tapias, DJ Taylor, Kervin Arriaga, Hassani Dotson, Robin Lod, Franco Fragapane, Bongokuhle Hlongwane, and Mender Garca will presumably start for the Loons in a 4-2-3-1 formation.
Reasons Why Dallas Can Defeat Minnesota United
Following a loss against New York City FC in their previous MLS contest, FC Dallas will be looking to turn things around here. FC Dallas had 45 percent possession and 16 shots on goal, with eight on target, in that match. New York City dominated the match, with Santiago Rodrguez scoring twice, Talles Magno scoring once, and Gabriel Pereira registering an assist.
