Minnesota United team news and form: Minnesota have their heads above water
Currently, the team is in 9th place in MLS’ Western Conference. However, Tapias and his teammates better step it up a notch, as they were in the Top 3 a couple of months ago. We are sure the team will do its very best to climb the ladder once more.
Predicted lineup: St. Clair (GK), Harvey, Jeong, Tapias, Padelford, Rosales, Hlongwane, Dotson, Bran, Lod & Oluwaseyi

Necaxa team news and form: Bleak display by Necaxa
Necaxa were a joke in their last official Liga MX match. Sure, they chipped a point away from Club Leon, but did they really deserve it? After all, they produced only four shots on target in 90 minutes of play and saw only 33.0% possession.
Predicted lineup: Unsain (GK), Mayorga, Alcantar, Castro, Oliveros, Martinez, Arce, Paradela, Palavecino, Rosero & Monreal

Player to watch: Dayne St. Clair
St. Clair was a wall under the sticks for Minnesota United in their last official Major League Soccer outing. The game versus San Jose Earthquakes ended 2-0 in their favor, but it was St. Clair who made it happen. The Quakes made 10 shots at target and not one went past him.
Second player to watch: Diber Cambindo
Cambindo is the leading finisher for the visitors. As long as he remains on the pitch, we trust that our Minnesota United vs Necaxa predictions are safe, as we expect to see many goals at Allianz Stadium this week.
