Perhaps a slump is beginning, but it's too early to tell. Overall, Houston Dynamo didn't create many chances either, but their finishing was top-notch. There wasn't much time to reflect as the second midweek round awaits.
β½οΈ The forwards underperformed in the last match. Oluwaseyi was substituted midway through the second half, the only time we saw him up close.
π No new injuries to report. Hassani Dotson is still recovering. The main defender, Anthony Markanich, is also sidelined with an injury.
Saint Louis City

This loss of focus has happened before, raising questions about the coach's decisions, as changes on the field were not made in time. St. Louis struggle over the long haul, and it seems there's little that can be done about it.

Editor's Prediction
Analyzing the current form and standings, Minnesota appear poised to dominate this match-up. They boast impressive stats, averaging 1.5 goals at home while maintaining a solid defense, conceding only 0.9 goals on average. However, it might not be straightforward, as their previous game showcased some erratic play, suggesting a potential dip in performance. St Louis should be highly motivated, needing points to climb the table. They are known for their fighting spirit and rarely lose by large margins, which the trend for this match supports. It makes sense to consider a positive handicap here. We'll go with St Louis City to win with a handicap (+1.5).
