Minnesota is a team that has really had some decent runs on the year so far. However, the Minnesota club is coming in sitting in 3rd place in their division of the MLS. However, the Minnesota team would need a miracle to come in and run down the LAFC club and that could make it a little bit harder for the club as they are behind by 18 points in the standings. 

Darwin Quintero has found himself to be the leading for the Minnesota squad with 8 goals on the year and 5 assist. Ethan Finley and Mason Toye have both put in 6 goals and ended up with 3 assist a piece. This season the Minnesota squad has scored a total of 46 goals this year, but the defense has had some issues, but has played decent by giving up only 37 goals.

Houston is heading into this game in what can only be seen as a goal drought in the pasts few games. The Dynamo have ended up getting only a single goal in the last 2 games. Defensively the Houston team has really had some issues as well with a total of 6 goals given up in the last 2 games as well, which definitely makes it difficult for the team to win.

Mauro Manotas is the leading goal scorer for the Dynamo with 11 goals and 6 assists on the year. Alberth Elishas put in 7 goals and managed to get 8 assist on the year for the Dynamo. Now, the major issue for the Houston team is the fact that they have only scored 38 goals on the year, but when it comes to the defense it has been very porous by giving up a total of 49 goals in the games so far this year.

The Dynamo do not have much going for them offensively recently and that is definitely going to present an issue for the team here. However, the other problem that the Dynamo will have is the fact that they are facing Minnesota who have done decent offensively and that will help them in making a difference in this game and bring home a decent win as they shut down the Houston offense again. Final Score Prediction, Minnesota United FC win 3-1.
