Minnesota United
Minnesota played to a draw against Orlando over the weekend after they scored very late to tie it up. This was a disappointing result because they were at home and had so many chances to put this game away. With the draw, Minnesota is still 2nd place in the West, but now just hold a 1 point lead over the LA Galaxy. This mid-week game will be play on the road where Minnesota have struggled for majority of the season. In 12 road games, they have just 4 wins and 1 draw, so this could be an uphill battle for this club.
It should be noted that the attack for Minnesota has been much better recently when they play away from home. In their last away match, they scored 3 goals. This is much better than their 1.75 goals per game average on the road. To win this game, Minnesota must score at least 2 goals, because their defending suffers on the road.

Last time Minnesota played on the road, their defending let them down big time as they allowed 5 goals. Overall, they allow an average of 2.17 goals per game on the road, so for them to allow 5 was not normal. If Minnesota wants to find 3 points on the road, they need to limit SKC to below 2 goals. If this game becomes a shootout, the Minnesota defending may suffer over time.
Sporting Kansas City
SKC got a huge win last weekend over San Jose to keep them in the hunt for the playoffs. Keep in mind that they are in 10th place in the West on 31 points. However, the crazy part is they are only 6 points behind 7th. They will get this game at home where they have won 5, lost 5 and tied 3.

Sporting Kansas City was able to score 2 goals on San Jose and must do something similar to win against Minnesota. They average 1.85 goals per game at home, so multiple goals is likely the only way they can come away with points.
Defensively, Sporting Kansas City has been better but they still allow nearly 2 goals per game at home. I expect them to concede, but limiting them to 1 goal will be a major key in how this game turns out.
Free Minnesota United vs. Sporting Kansas City MLS Prediction:
Even though Minnesota is not great on the road, I give them the edge in this game because they are in better form over their last 5 matches.
4* Free MLS Betting Pick: Minnesota United +1
Even though Minnesota is getting great value, I do not trust them that much on the road. Therefore, I will take Minnesota on the goal line to protect us in case this game ends in a draw.
