Minnesota United hosts the Seattle Sounders in a crucial MLS Western Conference match, with both teams vying for playoff positioning. Minnesota currently sits ninth in the conference with 33 points, while Seattle is sixth with 37 points. The Sounders have historically dominated this matchup, winning their last two games against the Loons by a combined score of 4-0. However, Minnesota enters the game refreshed after a break and has bolstered its roster with new signings. Both teams have shown inconsistency, but Minnesota's recent form includes two wins, one draw, and two losses, while Seattle has three wins and two losses in their last five matches. The outcome of this match could significantly impact their playoff hopes as the regular season nears its conclusion.
