Minnesota United and Colorado Rapids will go head-to-head at the Allianz Field Stadium in the Round of 32 of the US Open Cup on Tuesday.
The Rapids are yet to taste victory away from home this year and will be desperate to end their dry spell.
Minnesota failed to return to winning ways on Sunday, as they fell to a 1-0 defeat against FC Cincinnati on home turf.
That followed a 2-0 loss away to Los Angeles FC on May 2, which saw their three-game losing streak come to an end.
The Loons will now look to return to winning ways in the US Open Cup, where they kicked off their campaign with a 2-0 victory over Forward Madison FC on April 21.
Meanwhile, Colorado continue to struggle on the road, as they fell to a 1-0 loss at San Jose Earthquakes last time out.
They have now failed to pick up a win away from home in eight games since a 1-0 win at Houston Dynamo in October last year.
The Rapids are ninth in the Western Conference table, having picked up 12 points from ten outings.
