Why Bet on Minnesota?
Minnesota United has been one of the pleasant surprises in MLS this season. However, as the games have gone by, they have started to show signs of running out of gas.
In the last match, they lost 5-3 visiting FC Dallas. Always behind on the scoreboard, goals from Bongokuhle Hlongwane, Hassani Dotson, and Wil Trapp did little to help. This was the second loss in a row for this team, as they had already fallen 2-0 against Seattle Sounders.What’s more, they have only won once in their last five matches.
It is clear that the team’s performance has dropped significantly and it is partly due to poor defensive work. Minnesota has not kept a clean sheet since April 21, when it beat Charlotte 3-0. Since then, ten matches have passed.
But at home things have changed, they have only lost once and are undefeated in five games, winning 11 of 15 points. On offense, their most outstanding player is Tani Oluwaseyi, with seven goals.He is followed by Robin Lod with five, plus nine assists.
The bad news is that Oluwaseyi is out of the team because he has been called up to the Canadian National Team. For the same reason, Alejandro Bran, Carlos Harvey, and Dayne St. Clair are absent. Hugo Bacharach and Teemu Pukki are out due to injury and Devin Padelford is a doubt.
Why Bet on Austin FC?
Austin is a team that has already shown in past years that it is competitive, but this seasonit needs to take a step forward. They last drew 1-1 with Los Angeles FC, thanks to a goal by Colombian Jader Obrian. It is a valuable point, given the difficulty of this opponent.
However, the present of the franchise is not good at all, as it has five matches without a win, losing three of them. It has fallen to the Play-In position with its 24 units. And its season is based on what it has done at home since it has five defeats in nine away games. They only won once away and that was almost two months ago.
But it should be noted that their visits to Minnesota usually leave a good taste in their mouths, as they have won twice in four opportunities, including last season’s meeting.
Obrian and Argentine Sebastian Driussi are the players with the most celebrations, with five each. It is not a figure that stands out in comparison to the 16 of Cristian Arango, who fornow is the Golden Boot winner.
Austin’s absentees are due to national team competition: Costa Rica’s Julio Cascante and Venezuela’s Daniel Pereira, who will be playing in the Copa América.
