The preview

Minnesota United roll into Children's Mercy Park sitting comfortably at 6-4-5, while Sporting KC are having a rough go at 3-2-9 and desperately need a home result. Vegas has Minnesota as the slight favorite at -105, which tells you everything about how shambolic Kansas City's season has been.

Expect Minnesota to control the run of play and pick apart a leaky SKC backline with a well-timed through ball. Bold prediction: Minnesota nick it 2-1, with Sporting KC's keeper bailing them out of an even worse night.
