A new MLS matchday brings a duel of opposite realities. On the one hand, a Minnesota team aspiring to be the leader of the Western Conference, and on the other, an FC Dallas that needs to find the road to regularity.
With goals from Tani Oluwaseyi, Robin Lod, and Kevin Arriaga, United defeated Sporting Kansas City 3-1 at home.
The Cowboys did not have much luck, as they faced a team on a roll as Los Angeles FC, who won 1-0 with a goal from Denis Bouanga.

Why Bet on Minnesota United?
Minnesota United has surprised everyone with the level it is showing, despite not having any top players in a league that invests as much as the MLS. In the last match, this team got an important 3-1 victory over Sporting KC, thanks to goals from Tani Oluwaseyi, Robin Lod, and Kevin Arriaga. Johnny Russell scored the partial equalizer.
Minnesota is currently in third place in the West with 28 points, five behind Real Salt Lake, but they have two games in hand on the leader. The win against Sporting snapped a two-game winless streak, including a 2-0 loss to Los Angeles FC, which is currently in second place in the region.
Minnesota has 27 goals scored and 20 conceded. What’s more, they have seven straight matches, allowing at least one conversion, although they have only lost once in that span of games.
So far, their best scorer is Nigeria’s Oluwaseyi, who has seven goals and four assists.
Spanish defender Hugo Bacharach and Argentine striker Franco Fragapane are possible absentees.
Why Bet on FC Dallas?
FC Dallas has historically been an upper-mid-table team, but in 2024 this team has shown weaknesses, as evidenced by its dismal ranking. The team from the state of Texas has just suffered another setback in its last match, losing 1-0 to Los Angeles FC, with Denis Bouanga scoring the only goal of the game.
This was the second consecutive loss for the Bulls, as they had already succumbed 3-1 to the other Los Angeles team, the Galaxy. They are in a disgraceful 12th place, with only 13 points, and on a four-game winless streak, winning only two of their last 12 matches.
Their offense has 17 goals, the lowest number in the West, while their defense has conceded 24. They have six games in a row allowing the opponent to score at least once.
Their best scorer is Croatian striker Petar Musa, with five goals, and as visitors, they have not won in eight games.
Geovane Jesus, Paxton Pomykal, and Alan Velasco are injured.
