Minnesota United
π Minnesota appear slightly weaker than their closest rival, but the gap isn't significant. There are some shortcomings, but they haven't yet impacted their position in the standings. In their last match, they could have secured a win, as Austin didn't show outstanding football and created few chances. Minnesota certainly deserved more than just one goal, but unfortunately, they only managed to take a single point.
β½οΈ Austin's goal came from a defender, while the Oluwaseyi-Yeboah duo has slowed down considerably. We're expecting goals from the forwards.
