Fresh off crashing out of the US Open Cup, Minnesota United will welcome New York City FC to the Allianz Field Stadium on Sunday.
The Pigeons, meanwhile, head into the game unbeaten in their last ten outings across competitions and will look to keep that run rolling.
Minnesota were sent packing from the US Open Cup on Thursday, falling to a disappointing 2-1 loss to Union Omaha SC.
They will now return to the MLS, where they ended their four-game winless run on Monday with a 2-1 victory over FC Dallas. With 18 points from 13 games, Minnesota are eighth in the Western Conference standings, level on points with Houston Dynamo and Colorado Rapids.
Meanwhile, New York claimed a 1-0 win over New England Revolution last time out to reach the US Open Cup quarterfinals.
That performance was in line with their stellar run in the MLS, where they are unbeaten in their last seven outings, picking up six wins and a draw. With 23 points from 12 games, New York are second in the Eastern Conference standings, one point off first-placed Philadelphia Union.
Minnesota United vs New York City FC Head-To-Head and Key Numbers

- New York have picked up one win in this period, while the spoils have been shared on one occasion.

- New York head into the weekend unbeaten in their last ten games across competitions, picking up eight wins and two draws since a 3-1 loss to Seattle Sounders in April.

Minnesota United vs New York City FC Prediction
New York have enjoyed a solid start to the season and could rise to the top of the Eastern Conference table with all three points on Sunday.
They face an out-of-sorts Minnesota team that have managed just two wins in their last seven outings since the start of May. The visitors should maintain their fine run of results and come out victorious in this one.
