Minnesota United's five-match unbeaten run ended with a disappointing 4-2 home defeat against San Diego FC over a week ago. With that defeat, Eric Ramsay's men have dropped to third in the Western Conference.
Houston Dynamo, on the other hand, are 11th in the Western Conference. They have struggled to find their best form in recent weeks, losing consecutive matches against Sporting KC and Montreal.
Ahead of this encounter, Minnesota United are the expected winners at 4/5 (1.80). Teams with these odds generally have a 55.6% probability of winning.

It is also important to note that seven of the last nine meetings between these sides featured at least 11 corners. Keeping in mind that each of Minnesota United's last nine games went above the 10.5-corner threshold, over 10.5 total corners has an appealing look at 1/1 (2.00). That one has a 50% chance of landing.
Most recent H2Hs: A fairly one-sided affair
Houston Dynamo have been the dominant side in recent meetings between these teams, with a 3-1-1 win-draw-loss record in their last five skirmishes with Minnesota United. However, they have only those three wins in their last 13 clashes with Minnesota.

Minnesota United preview: Looking to get back to winning ways
Minnesota will look to get back on course after suffering a 4-2 home defeat against San Diego with a heavily rotated lineup.
Coach Ramsay could continue with his 5-4-1 formation this midweek as he has done in the last three skirmishes with either Tani Oluwaseyi or Kelvin Yeboah as the lone striker.
On the injury front, the Black and Blue have two players receiving treatments, including centre-back Kipp Keller (hamstring), and midfielder Hassani Dotson (meniscus problem).
Predicted lineup: Speel (GK), Gressel, Diaz, Boxall, Romero, Markanich, Hlongwane, Gene, Trapp, Pereyra & Yeboah.

Houston Dynamo preview: Hoping to halt their losing run
Houston Dynamo are coming off back-to-back home defeats, making them extra hungry for three points on the road as they look to pick up points as soon as possible in order to make the playoffs from the Western Conference standings.
However, they will remain without up to four players for this clash due to injuries, including long-term absentees Nelson Quinones (knee) and Andrew Tarbell (ACL), with Erik Sviatchenko and Daniel Steres both nursing leg injuries.
Predicted lineup: Bond (GK), Dorsey, Awodesu, Ortiz, Andrade, Artur, Urso, Lingr, Bassi, Kowalczyk & Ponce.

Player to watch: Kelvin Yeboah
With the team's top scorer unavailable due to the CONCACAF Gold Cup, Minnesota United will rely on Kelvin Yeboah on Thursday. It will be interesting to see if the former Genoa forward can score in back-to-back games for the first time in 15 weeks.
