Correct score prediction: Minnesota 2-1 San Diego
Emerging triumphant 3-2 away at Seattle certainly put Minnesota’s worries to bed after back-to-back draws, making it four straight unbeaten games in the league. Eric Ramsay will be confident of edging past a San Diego outfit who make their maiden trip to Minnesota and Allianz Field since the club’s inception two years ago. The visitors are expected to give a fight, but back the Loons to pull through with three points in this one.

Bookmakers price Minnesota with straightforward 1/1 (2.00) odds, while newcomers San Diego are on a poor run on the road.
Mikey Varas’ San Diego have lost four of their five league trips away from home, and this directly contributes to their anticipated win rate. Odds of 21/10 (3.10), indicating a 32.2% probability of victory, have been placed upon the visitors.

Player to Watch: Kelvin Yeboah
Yeboah started this season strong, scoring four times in Minnesota’s first five league games, including the winner against Montreal and a brace in a 2-2 draw vs LA Galaxy.
With Oluwaseyi out of the picture, the onus falls on the former Italy U21 to lead the frontline as his side chase a sixth successive unbeaten game.
