Why you should back Minnesota United
The Loons have switched to another gear offensively of late, scoring three times in each game during their winning streak. The club registered a total of six goals over its previous eight matches and was blanked three times in that span. Minnesota United has a great opportunity for another big output as it faces a Sporting KC team that has surrendered the second-most goals (34) in the Western Conference this season.
Emanuel Reynoso has been Minnesota’s most productive player during its spurt, scoring four of the team’s nine goals. The 26-year-old midfielder has netted five of his team-leading seven goals over his last five matches and scored twice in back-to-back contests before being kept in check by Vancouver in his last outing. Forward Luis Amarilla has scored in three of his last four games while winger Franco Fragapane – who, along with Reynoso, scored in the Loons’ 2-1 win against Sporting KC in their last meeting – has converted in two of his past three matches.

The Wizards also posted a comeback victory in their last contest, a 2-1 win against CF Montreal on Saturday. Sporting KC fell behind just 13 minutes into the match but drew even on 35-year-old midfielder Roger Espinoza’s second goal of the season and first in 14 contests. Midfielder Remi Walter snapped the deadlock in the 63rd minute and the Wizards held on for their second win in seven road games this year.
Johnny Russell leads Sporting KC with five goals after registering a career-high 15 in 30 matches last season. The 32-year-old winger is looking to halt a four-game drought after netting four over his previous seven outings. Forward Khiry Shelton remains in search of his first goal of 2022 but has found the back of the net in each of the Wizards’ last two meetings with Minnesota.
