My Prediction
Minnesota United FC by 2Roll the drums, folks, because we've got an exciting fixture here with the Houston Dynamo squaring off against Minnesota United FC. Now, if we're talking goalkeeping, Houston's got both Jonathan Bond on a 6.85 rating and Blake Gillingham on a 6.60, which in my not-so-humble opinion, doesn't look all that impressive next to Minnesota's Dayne St. Clair with his dazzling 7.18 rating. Advantage, Minnesota.
Now, onto the field players. For Voltaire's favorite team - no, seriously, he loved the united front - Minnesota United FC, we've got Joaquín Pereyra showing off a 7.36 rating and presenting himself as a consistent threat with his 77.9% accurate passes. Nicolás Romero closely follows with a 7.20 rating and a master of midfield control with 84.2% accurate pass. Then, there's also Bongokuhle Hlongwane with his 7.02 rating and a solid performance in front of the goal.
Contrastingly, for Houston Dynamo, we've got Jack McGlynn and Amine Bassi. McGlynn has an impressive 7.54 rating with a striking accuracy of 88.8% in his passes, while Bassi's been killing it with a 7.20 rating and an eye for the net.
Looking back at historical encounters there's been a mix so safe to say neither side has had their number, truly. Reputation aside, Minnesota's regular-season record does seem a bit more flattering with 6 wins as opposed to Houston's 2. Recent form, though? It's fascinating. Minnesota, stamping their dominance in the last couple of games, and Houston, well, let's just say the word 'struggling' might be an understatement.
So as things stand, I wouldn't be surprised if a leprechaun waltzes into the studio right now, but I'm going to give this one to Minnesota. Here's hoping Houston has a better sense of humor than their recent form.
