Minnesota United will entertain Los Angeles FC at the Allianz Field in their upcoming MLS Western Conference fixture on Wednesday.
The home team failed to score for the third game in a row and, as a result, suffered their third consecutive defeat in the MLS. Dairon Asprilla scored the only goal of their away game against Portland Timbers on Saturday, as the game ended in a 1-0 win for the Timbers.
Los Angeles FC suffered their fourth defeat in five games last time around as they fell to a 2-1 defeat to Dallas. In-form striker Cristian Arango gave them the lead in injury time in the first half, which was undone by Jesus Ferreira's quick-fire brace in the second half.
